The ICC WTC final was initially supposed to be held at Lords, but due to COVID-19 issues and bio-bubble facilities, the game shifted to Southampton.
After the two-year wait, the inaugural ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final is all set to take place between finalists New Zealand and India.
The summit clash will be played at The Ageas Bowl, Southampton, England from June 18. The ICC WTC final was initially supposed to be held at Lords, but due to COVID-19 issues and bio-bubble facilities, the game shifted to Southampton.
As the Men in Blue gear up for the historic match, India's great Sachin Tendulkar spoke about the Test match.
In an exclusive interview with Zee News Editor-in-chief Sudhir Chaudhary, Tendulkar was asked whether the team led by Virat Kohli is the best Indian team ever.
Responding to this, Sachin Tendulkar said, "First of all, I would like to say that there should be no comparison between the teams. If you look at the teams of the '80s or the teams of the '90s, then each team has its own importance".
Tendulkar added, "There is a balance of players in teams of every era and every team plays cricket against different teams with different rules. Circumstances are totally different and the change of rules has had a huge impact on cricket".
300 runs not enough:
The Master Blaster said, "If you see, in earlier times, more than 250 runs in ODI cricket was considered a good score, but today even 300 runs are not enough to save the match.
This is because the rules of cricket have changed.
"Therefore it is not right to compare the current team with the earlier teams. Just look at the South African team, how their team was earlier and how much it has changed today".
What is India's top team according to Sachin Tendulkar?
The former India batsman said, "We should not compare any team and if I have to compare the teams, then without any doubt India is at the top because we can win in any situation".
