Kohli said that this is not the first time that we are playing in England. We don't mind having only four practice sessions before the final.

The final of the World Test Championship will be played from June 18 at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton. Kohli said during the pre-departure virtual press conference that both India and New Zealand will be on "equal terms" as far as the conditions in Southampton are concerned.

"The conditions (in England) are just as powerful for us as New Zealand... we're going to fly thinking we're on equal terms and whatever team does well session-by-season, hour-by-hour He is going to win the championship,” Kohli said during the pre-departure press conference.
