WTC Final Just A Test, Won't Decide World's Best Team Says Virat Kohli

India skipper Virat Kohli on Thursday shook off some pressure of playing the World Test Championship (WTC) final by saying one Test wouldn't decide the best team in the world, and that India have

"It wasn't supposed to be a topsy-turvy ride. When you are sitting at home and rules changed suddenly and you get confused about what happened," he said. Kohli said in the minds of players India had qualified before Covid forced a change in some WTC rules.

"In our minds, we had qualified way before things got complicated. However, that just gave us more determination and clarity as to where we want to go and what we want to achieve. So looking back now, probably it was a good thing that happened as there was no room for complacency," he said. "The situation allowed us to be hungry and determined. We used that to motivate ourselves and keep moving forward."

Though there is rain forecast on all five days of the Test, 32-year-old Kohli said that the team won't be affected and has all bases covered. "Our preparation is like that. If it is raining, doesn't matter. Weather won't change anything, we have all our bases covered."
