New Zealand captain Kane Williamson said that it will be a wonderful moment to take the field for the toss with Indian skipper Virat Kohli in the final of the World Test Championship (WTC). At the same time, he believes that this match will not be easy for his team in front of India’s world-class fast bowling attack. The WTC final is to be played between both the teams in Southampton from June 18.
“Over the years, we have played against each other in so many different levels and competitions and have known each other fairly well. So, it will be quite cool walking out there, doing the toss and having a bit of contact in the first Test Championship Final,” said Williamson, talking to ICC.
“It is exciting. We are looking forward to that when we are taking on the top-ranked side in the world. We know how strong they are and the depth they have. So exciting to be playing against each other at a neutral venue, ” he said.
“They have got a fantastic attack. Brilliant, obviously a brilliant side. We have seen the depth they have as well, certainly saw that in Australia as well. A lot of strengths in their fast bowling and spin department. So yeah, a brilliant side, ranked right up the top, which is fair enough and an exciting opportunity for us to be involved in the final taking on the best,” he added.
At the same time, he expressed hope that this match will be exciting and competitive for the viewers.
