“Credit to these two fantastic leaders! A great hard fought game, even with a bit of weather about there was an eventual winner and that was NZ. Awesome for test cricket!! Well done to @kane_s_w and his team for being the victors of the WTC. #cricket #sport #india #nz,” Warner wrote on Instagram.
Former South Africa wicket-keeper batsman AB de Villiers also congratulated New Zealand for winning the ‘Ultimate Test’ and thanked both sides for producing a great Test match that did really well to promote the longest format.
“It was a pleasure watching the Test Championship final and I feel both teams did incredibly well to promote the format for what it really is, the ultimate test! Congrats @newzealandcrick with the win. Hard lines India, but I know @imVkohli and his men will bounce back,” de Villiers wrote on Twitter.
