As the final of the inaugural World Test Championship (WTC) is just a few days away, all the fans and cricket experts are excited and are making their predictions of the conditions and playing XIs to keep themselves busy.
While all the fans are excited, New Zealand cricket gave their fans another surprise by revealing the special jerseys for this epic Test match between India and New Zealand.
If those special jerseys were not enough, the Blackcaps also shared a photo of the unique Dukes ball which has ‘ICC WTC Final 2021 India vs New Zealand’ engraved on it along with a logo of ICC.

The India vs New Zealand final will be an exciting Test match to watch and it will be interesting to see how Team India goes about in this match considering New Zealand has always got the better of them in ICC events.
While India has managed to defeat the Kiwis only once in the 2003 ODI World Cup, the Blackcaps have got the better of them in the 2007 T20 World Cup, 2016 T20 World Cup, and the semi-final of the 2019 World Cup.
Another daunting stat for Indian Cricket Team fans is that New Zealand is the only team India lost to during the inaugural World Test Championship tournament, as the subcontinental giants registered a 0-2 defeat against Kane Williamson and Co. in New Zealand.
Thus, with a lot to prove, it will be really thrilling to watch both the top-ranked teams in ICC Test rankings fighting it out for the title in Southampton from June 18.
