Indian cricket team coach Ravi Shastri on Thursday admitted that New Zealand were the better team in the final of the World Test Championship (WTC).

After waiting the longest for the world title, he deserved to win. This is an example that big things don’t come easily. Great game, New Zealand. respect”

Before Wednesday, New Zealand had won their only ICC title in 2000. New Zealand had earlier lost in the finals of the 2015 and 2019 Cricket World Cups.

Before the title match, Shastri had suggested that the future WTC Finals should be a best-of-three series. On Wednesday, Kohli supported Shastri’s suggestion.
