Team India captain Virat Kohli chose ‘Biggest of All’ ICC Tournaments ahead of the first New Zealand Test. Kohli rated World Test Championship as the most important ICC event.
“I think World Test Championship as an ICC tournament should be right up there. All the other tournaments for me they start under that. This is probably the biggest of them all as every team wants to make it to the final at the Lord’s.
“We want to make sure that we qualify as soon as we can and be in that frame of mind to hopefully win that (championship),” said Kohli on importance of each game.
According to Team India skipper, World Test Championship has made the game’s longest format more exciting.
“Games will be intense and teams will go for wins rather than settling for draws which is what we need to see in Test cricket. The South Africa versus England series was very exciting. England won the Cape Town Test in the final hour and you will see lot more results like that because there are a lot more points in line,” said Virat Kohli.
