Kyle Jamieson had a fantastic outing in the final of World Test Championship (WTC) as theNew Zealand all-rounder got a five-wicket haul in the first innings but also dismissed Team India skipper Virat Kohli in both innings of the match.
Jamieson while talking to Start Sports after New Zealand defeated India by 8 wickets and claimed the inaugural title of World Test Champions commented that dismissing Kohli on the occasion of big WTC final felt really great.
Kyle Jamieson plays under Virat Kohli's captaincy in the Indian Premier League for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) franchise.
"The work that the other bowlers did was really helpful for my figures. Virat is a world-class player, and it was good to have some experience against him at RCB. To pick him up twice in the Test was great,” Jamieson said.
The 26-year-old who was adjudged Man of the Match for his seven wickets, including a fifer in the first innings, then talked about winning the WTC, calling it a tournament that has given some context to Test cricket.
“It's a massive moment. To have some context around Test cricket is big and to be standing here now is surreal. I knew we had a big first hour today. We had the ball in the right areas, and we knew it would be a tough task. It's nice to have the ball first up and play your part. It's nice to have a chance to do good things for the team,” Jamieson said.
