India suffered an 8-wicket defeat at the hands of New Zealand in the final of the World Test Championship (WTC). After the defeat, the faces of the Indian players were descended in the prize distribution ceremony. But Virat Kohli has given a positive message to the team. He has said that it is not just a team, but a family. There are many emotions attached to it. We move forward together. Actually, with this post, Virat also dismissed the media reports, in which it was being said that changes can be made in the squad for the England series. The 5-match Test series against England is starting from August 4.
After losing the final, the entire team including Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant, Shubman Gill, and Ravichandran Ashwin looked disappointed. The team's morale falling before the crucial series against England is not right for the team. In such a situation, Virat's role is important in preparing the team for the series against a difficult team like England and he is playing this role very well.
The next WTC final is to be held in 2023. Before this, good performance in every series is important for Team India. The team will have to start afresh from the series against England. Virat told from his post that the team is now recovering from the grief of the final and they always stand by their players.
Earlier there were reports that Virat is upset with the performance of the senior players of the team. He had said after the match that some players did not show the spirit to score runs. Although Virat did not take any names, it is believed that he is disappointed with Cheteshwar Pujara's performance.
Kohli had said – there is a need to bring the right people in the team, who play positively. We can't wait for a year. We need to discuss this. And We have to plan on this afresh. If you look at our ODI and T20 teams, you will know that we have depth and players are full of confidence. Such is the need in Test cricket as well.
After the WTC final, Kohli had said that the New Zealand team deserves to be the World Test champions, but he wants the winner of the future World Test Championship to be decided by the best of three. Who is the best team that can't be decided on the basis of the pressure of just two days?
