India lost the World Test Championship Finals to New Zealand after failing score enough runs in their second innings. The team got all out for 170 runs and the Blackcaps needed just 139 runs to win in the finals. The solid partnership of senior batsman Ross Taylor and Captain Kane Williamson made things easier for the New zealand team. Losing just two wickets in the fourth innings, the team registered their victory in the inaugural World test Championship tournament.

Kane scored a match winning half century and the winning runs came from the bat of Ross Taylor who scored 47 runs at the end of the 3 day test match. Various kind of reactions are emerging in social media platforms from fans who witnessed the match. Many Indian fans blamed Kohli for losing 7th ICC knock out match in a row as a captain for India. Meanwhile, Tamil actor Siddharth came up with a tweet expressing his displeasure over ICC for their “poor” planning.

Siddharth said that the people who run the great game, failed to make a proper plan for the biggest tournament final in the history of Test cricket. The “Boys” actor suggested a best of three for the finals of World test championship with every much happening in three different venues. He also wanted fans to imagine WTC finals taking place across South Africa, Australia and India. He also lauded New zealand for their victory and said that they deserve the mace.

“35 years of absorbing test cricket and to this day one finds the people who run the great game don’t even know how to plan the biggest tourney final in Test history. Cricket lovers must be able to find a way forward … The finals of the #WTC can happen as a best of 3. 3 venues, a different 3 every final…imagine a final played across SA, AUS and India. The test format needs protection and imagination.” the actor’s tweet read.

“NZ over the last 5 years have played a core talent squad that reinforces their belief in talent and consistency. Congrats to them on their trophy. They have great wonders yet to give world cricket. Sir Richard Hadlee would be proud tonight.” Siddharth said in his next tweet and stated that India’s batting performance was disappointing and displayed an average fielding performance.

NZ- great bowling, batting and fielding, great toss. India – great bowling, average fielding, disappointing batting and poor toss.

Nonsense venue in a rain swamp.

2 years of excellence decided on a silly ICC narrative.

NZ deserves a trophy! Go well kiwis! ❤️

DRS is a joke. 😭

“It’s a special feeling. It’s nice to get one under the belt. I’d like to thank Virat and the Indian team. The heart that our team showed was commendable. It’s the first time we have come away with a world title, and the 22 players who played a big part in getting across the line deserve all the appreciation. This will be remembered for a long time. We don’t always have all the stars, and we saw that in this match. We saw so much heart and commitment. We know how strong the Indian side is, in all conditions. It’s a fickle game, in a one-off final. It ebbed and flowed, no one really had the upper hand for six days, and I’m happy we’re on the right side of it.” said New zealand captain Kane Williamson in the post match presentation.
