Skipper Virat Kohli said that India were “relieved” to make the inaugural World Test Championship final and would now focus on that “one big game” against New Zealand in June after seeing off England. 


India crushed Joe Root’s side inside three days in the fourth Test in Ahmedabad on Saturday to clinch the series 3-1 and finish top of the Test Championship table ahead of New Zealand. India had led the standings until November, when a change in the points system because of the Coronavirus disruptions promoted Australia to top spot. 


“We are relieved that now we have made it to the final,” Kohli told BCCI TV. “Probably if you look at the last two-and-half years how we have played, we deserve to be in that final. Now it’s just about getting together as a group again and focusing on that one big game which is quite exciting for all of us,” added Kohli. New Zealand’s spot in the final was secured when the Test series between South Africa and Australia was postponed last month.
