Team India is currently gearing up to take on Kane Williamson’s New Zealand in the final of inaugural edition of World Test Championship (WTC) at Southampton. It will be a great match-up between the top two ranked sides as they fight to establish themselves as the best team in the longest format.

India had lost both their Tests against New Zealand last year, thus they know that its going to be a tough match. While talking to The Telegraph, the Indian pacer Umesh Yadav talked about importance of Kiwi skipper Kane Williamson’s wicket.

“We do have a fair idea about Kane’s game, though I don’t think he has too many weaknesses. Of course, any quality batsman can fall to a good delivery, so as a fast bowler, you should look to stick to your strong points and bowl more of those balls which can fetch you wickets,” Yadav said.

New Zealand won’t treat two Tests against England as warm-ups for WTC final, says Neil Wagner

“And yeah, we need to get Kane out as early as possible as that’ll surely benefit the team. New Zealand are a strong side, they bat deep and their pacers are quite experienced and lethal. So it will be a tough game. English conditions are also a big challenge for us and so is playing against a team like New Zealand,” he added.

The 33-year-old then talked about the importance of having discipline specifically in the longest format.

“But being Test players, we need to play with discipline and make sure we remain disciplined right throughout in all aspects of the game. The team that maintains such discipline in each and every session will prevail,” the right-arm quick signed off.

Virat Kohli-led Indian team will be taking on New Zealand in the final of World Test Championship (WTC) at Southampton scheduled to begin from 18 June.
