The Indian Cricket Team landed at Heathrow airport, London today to take part in the ICC Test Championship finals against New Zealand to be followed by 5 Test matches starting from 4th August 2021.

Under the captaincy of Virat Kohli, the Indian Test team has been on a roll in the ICC Test Championship cycle. They began their journey with 2-0 whitewash over West Indies in their own den.

It was a dominating performance by the World number 1 ranked Test side as they whitewashed South Africa 3-0 and 2-0 at home. Indian team tasted their first defeat losing to New Zealand by 0-2 and losing 120 points.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the ICC changed the points system as it was based on percentage points. After being shot for their lowest ever total of 36 in the first Test at Adelaide Oval, the stand-in captain Ajiyanka Rahane led from the front and led India to a historic 2-1 win including a record run chase at Australia’s fortress Gabba.

The Indian men’s team then returned to India and won the 4 match Test series 3-1 after losing the first Test at Chennai.

Under the captaincy of Virat Kohli, the Indian Cricket Team will face a tricky challenge of New Zealand in the finals to be played at Ageas Bowl, Southampton from 18th-22nd June including a reserve day.

It promises to be a cracking contest as the top two teams to become the inaugural winner of the ICC Test Championship.

After these finals, the Indian Team will have a long break before they start a tough challenge of 5 Test matches against England starting from 4th August.

The Indian Cricket Team would be looking to improve their record on England soil losing their last 3 previous series. With the likes of R Ashwin, Pujara, Ishant Sharma, Rahane playing only Test matches, all Indian fans would be hoping for great performances from their star players and help India win their first ICC title since the 2013 Champions Trophy.
