Former India captain Dilip Vengsarkar believes that Team India is much stronger than New Zealand. India has a great chance to win the title. The final match of the ICC World Test Championship is to be played between India and New Zealand from June 18. Dilip Vengsarkar, who was former Indian captain and chief selector in the match to be played in Southampton, England from June 18, has considered India as a contender for victory. Dilip Vengsarkar believes that India have a great team under the captaincy of Virat Kohli for the final.
Vengsarkar said, "If you compare the Indian team with the New Zealand team, then India's team looks better here when you compare the player to every player. There is certainly no doubt that Trent Boult is a World class bowler and Kane Williamson a world class batsman. But India is a team to do well in every field. We have the best spinners in the world, while this team has a great fast bowling attack and the batsmen of this team are also very good. They're just wonderful."
The Indian team is currently at the top of the ICC Test rankings while New Zealand is at number two. Even before the start of the WTC final, there is speculation that the conditions in Southampton will be in New Zealand's favor as the Kiwis are currently playing a two-match Test series against hosts England.
The former selector chief said, "Indian team has talented players. Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma are the best cricketers in the world. But it is also important that other players also support them and you know that you depend on only two players. Can't stay. If you are playing a Test match, then every player has to contribute his own. Let us inform that Team India has reached England on 3 June for the final match. But due to the strict rules of Quarantine, Team India may take some time to start practice.
