Having More Impact Players Make India Favorites To Win WTC Final, Says Sunil Gavaskar

By IANS News June 15, 2021 • 14:02 PM View: 1930

India should win the World Test Championship final against New Zealand since they have more impact players, former India captain Sunil Gavaskar has said.

"It is even-stevens in my view because both the teams are well balanced. There are some who think New Zealand have the advantage of being match ready (having won the two-Test series 1-0 in England)," said the former India opener.
