Kohli & Co should wait, not be over-aggressive in WTC final, advises Kapil

TIL Desk Sports/ Batting will determine India’s fate in World Test Championship (WTC) final against New Zealand next month, former India captain Kapil Dev has said.

The 1983 World Cup-winning captain added that India will have to take the game session by session since the weather in England changes within minutes.

 “India look a superior batting side. How they tackle the conditions is important. To me, India’s batting will hold the key. The bowlers provide a solid back-up to India’s cricket campaigns these days but the quality of batsmen will stand out in the final,” Dev said.

“Test cricket is about sessions. Each can be intriguing because of the weather factor. Within minutes, it changes from sunny to cloudy. So you have to be tactically good and technically sound when you play in England,” he said in an interview.
