IND Vs NZ WTC 2021 Final: The final of the ICC World Test Championship is being played between India and New Zealand in Southampton, England. In this match, India has given place to two spinners in the playing 11. Questions are also being raised on India's decision to play with two spinners in favorable conditions for the fast bowlers. Former India left-arm spinner Dilip Doshi, however, has called it a good bet to take the field with two spinners.

Dilip Doshi believes that Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin will play a big role in the final. Doshi is such a player from India who has played more cricket in England than other Indians. Doshi said, "India will have to fight for every single run. I think Jadeja and Ashwin will play a big role in this match."

Team India was all out for 217 runs in the first innings. Doshi has heaped praise on New Zealand's bowlers. "It's a home-like atmosphere here for New Zealand. The Kiwi bowlers bowled well and put pressure on the Indian batsmen," Doshi said.

India lost 7 wickets in 71 runs

Doshi, however, also praised the batting of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Rahane. "Even in this tough environment, Rohit Sharma, Kohli and Rahane did well while Shubman Gill also made a mark," he added.

Let us tell you that at the end of the second day's play, when Team India scored 146 runs for the loss of three wickets, it seemed that India could score a big score in front of New Zealand. But on the third day, India's innings faltered badly and they lost their last 7 wickets in just 71 runs.

Indian bowlers got the most trouble in front of Kyle Jamieson. Kyle Jamieson bowled 12 maidens in 22 overs and took five wickets for 31 runs.
