India and New Zealand are set to lock horns in the much-awaited summit clash of the World Test Champion in Southampton starting tomorrow. While New Zealand go into the match with a magnificent series win over England, India, on the other hand, have hardly played any cricket in the last month or so. They have had a few practice sessions and a couple of intra-squad games. Will it be a disadvantage to Virat Kohli’s men? That only time will tell but with just over 24 hours to go before the final, the Indian fans have gone berserk on social media. Several fans shared rib-tickling memes on Twitter as the countdown to WTC final begins.

Despite reaching the semi-finals on many occasions, Virat Kohli has never led India to an ICC title. The same is the case with Kane Williamson's New Zealand, who are searching for their maiden ICC title. A win in the World Test Championship will be a great relief after a heartbreaking and controversial loss in the ICC Cricket World Cup final in 2019.
