Xtra Time Web Desk: India cricketers wore black armbands on the second day of the ICC World Test Championship Final against New Zealand at the Ageas Bowl on Saturday, to pay tribute to the legendary Milkha Singh who passed away due to COVID-19 complications on Friday night.
New Zealand captain Kane Williamson won the toss and elected to bat against India under overcast conditions in the World Test Championship final here on Saturday. The BlackCaps have gone with an all seam attack with medium pacer Colin de Grandhomme, Trent Boult, Tim Southee, Neil Wagner and Kyle Jamieson. All rounder Grandhomme has been preferred over left arm spinner Aijaz Patel.
India captain Virat Kohli didn't change their playing XI announced two days back with both specialist spin bowling all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin adding to their batting depth.
