'The Flip Side': Gavaskar Explains How India Could Beat NZ In WTC Final Despite Being Alien To English Conditions

By Sahil Mathur May 31, 2021 • 16:18 PM View: 1604

Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar has come up with a flip side of the popular argument that New Zealand will be favorites going into the World Test Championship(WTC) Final since they will be acclimatized to the conditions after playing two test matches against England.

"The pessimists are suggesting that playing two Tests before the WTC finals will be a huge plus for the Kiwis as they will be match ready and better acclimatized to the conditions," Gavaskar wrote in his column in The Telegraph.
