Virat Kohli Celebration: India are currently playing New Zealand in the first-ever ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final at the Hampshire Bowl in Southampton. The Kane Williamson-led New Zealand team has dominated most of the Test match so far due to a superb performance from his fast bowlers especially Kyle Jamieson who picked up a sensational five-wicket haul as India got bowled out for 217 runs in the first innings.

India had to wait for a total of 34.2 overs to pick up the first New Zealand wicket in the first innings of the summit clash. After the Indian pace battery comprising of Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah failed to pick up a single wicket in their opening spells, it was off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin who provided his team with the much-needed opening breakthrough in the form of New Zealand opener Tom Latham. Indian captain Virat Kohli took a superb catch at the short-cover region and then also celebrated the first wicket in a great style.
