As they say, well begun, is half done!
By collecting the maximum possible 120 points from 2
matches, India have made a great start to the inaugural World Test Championship
(WTC).
In fact, India triumphed through the entire series – winning
the T20s, ODIs and of course, the Test matches, without a huff, even when they
did not field their best 11 in the limited over versions.
It was bewitching to watch our pace battery, led by the
indomitable Jasprit just-a-treat Bumrah, showcase their wares against the
hapless Caribbean batsmen.
Hanuma Vihari and Mayank Agarwal did their credentials
absolutely no harm with sterling displays in each Test.
The icing on the cake is that our next Test matches are with
South Africa and Bangladesh, all in our own den. Hopefully, this should only
buttress our position at the top of the tree, especially because there won’t be
any dead rubbers anymore.
Thanks to the WTC, every match means points at stake.
No matches are inconsequential anymore. The more you score off these matches,
the more your chances of actually being able to change change the look and
final standings of the points table.
So keep going, Team India…it’s a marathon race WTC, but you
sure have the lead right from the first lap.
Keep up the good work, and…
…Get Set Go!!
