Virat Kohli’s Message To The Team Ahead Of The WTC Final 2021 Ind vs NZ Match
The excitement for the thrilling battle, which begins on June 18th 2021, has already reached fever pitch. Virat Kohli addressed team India with an emotional Speech to ensure the morale of the team.
The skipper said that this is not the sweat and hard work of one month, but the stretch of the past two years. We continuously did our best in all the situations but because of COVID, the side was put under pressure as the rules were toyed with by ICC.
That’s why we had to work harder to make a place in the finals and then we won a tough series in Australia and we also won a series by 3-1 against England after getting defeated in the very first match of the series. We have the ability to comeback in every situation and we have to keep going, Virat continued in his message.
