The ICC announced the prize money for the WTC final on Monday.
As the first ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final between Virat Kohli’s India and New Zealand-led Team India approaches, one facet of the match has been a heated topic of debate: how many pacers and spinners will India field in the summit clash? Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin are frequently mentioned about this problem.
VVS lavished rich praise on all-rounder Jadeja:
While the world will only learn the playing XI on game day, former India batsman VVS Laxman praised all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. The 46-year-old remarked on ‘Star Sports Cricket’ that he is a complete player who has greatly developed in recent years.
As VVS Laxman stated:
“Ravindra Jadeja is also worth mentioning. He isn’t just a spinner who bowls only when the conditions are favourable.
He’s gotten a lot better at beating batters with his guile, flight, variation, and pace over the last few years. I believe he is the total deal for me, “VVS Laxman remarked.
Kohli and his teammates will enter the Summit battle, which is set to begin on June 18, with no match experience.
The Kiwis, on the other hand, will go into the final with a lot of confidence after defeating England 1-0 in their recent two-match Test series. Following the World T20 final, India will play England in a five-match Test series.
ICC declared the prize money for the WTC final:
In the meantime, the ICC announced the prize money for the WTC final on Monday. “The winner of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) Final among India and New Zealand will receive a reward of $ 1.6 million, as well as the ICC Test Championship Mace.”
ICC stated in an official release:
In an official statement, the ICC said, “The losing team will get $ 800,000 for placing second in the nine-team competition, which was contested over a near two-year cycle, bringing context to Test cricket and crowning the first recognised world champions in the longest version of the game.”
