The final at the Rose Bowl stadium in Southampton will be the culmination of a long process for Virat Kohli and his team, where they have dominated all the teams at home and played competitive cricket away in their tours abroad.

Speaking to the media through a virtual press conference before they leave for UK, Indian captain Virat Kohli and head coach Ravi Shastri spoke about the importance of the WTC final and what it means for the team.

"See it is the first time that you have a World Test Championship final. When you look at that and the magnitude of the game that is going to be played, I think this is the biggest, if not the biggest-ever. It is the toughest format of the game, it is a format that tests you. It has not happened over the three months, it has happened over two years where teams have played each other across the world and earned their right to play in the finals. It is one hell of an event," Shastri said.
