Post the World Test Championship, Kane Williamson and his men received a lot of support from the Indian audiences as all social media platforms were filled with praises of the Blackcaps cricketing skills and determination. overwhelmed by that support, New Zealand skipper Williamson hoped that his team could remain India’s second favourite team even after beating the Indians in a world event for the second time in a row, having beaten them earlier in the semi-final of the 2019 ODI World Cup.
"It's nice that maybe we're India's second favourite team. I hope that still remains the case," said Williamson during the post-match press conference.
The Kiwi called the victory a very proud moment in the history of his country’s cricket. "For us, a very proud moment in our history and a proud moment just as a team really, to stick to what we do well and come away with the win, which is a really great feeling,” the 30-year-old said.
India skipper Virat Kohli wanted a three-match series to decide the winners of the World Test Championship. Williamson on the other hand feels that logistically to organise a three-match Test series and barging into the FTP will be very difficult and feels that even one game final is not a bad idea.
“I guess the challenge would be scheduling and that series amongst a lot of cricket that's already on, but no doubt the more cricket that you have perhaps within a series, the more you do find out and the more it does reveal itself, but in the same way it was a really exciting match," said the man who scored unbeaten 52 and added 96 for the fourth wicket alongside Ross Taylor to get his team to the target of 139 in the fourth innings pretty easily.
"We know how fickle cricket is. The one-off factor does bring a unique dynamic, which does make it exciting and all these sorts of things, and on any given day anything can happen,” Williamson added supporting the one-off Final game.
