Ahead of the much-awaited World Test Championship (WTC) final, Kiwi captain, Kane Williamson opined that India has one of the best bowling attacks in the world. New Zealand will be locking horns with India in the WTC final, scheduled June 18 at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton. Citing the example of India’s historic series win down under, where a second-string-bowling attack completely dominated the Aussies, the New Zealand skipper feels that the depth in Indian bowling is immense.

Speaking to the ICC website, Kane Williamson said: “Brilliant, obviously a brilliant side. Throughout, we have seen the depth they have as well, certainly saw that in Australia as well. A lot of strengths in their fast bowling and spin department.  The Indian bowling attack is ranked right up the top, which is fair enough and an exciting opportunity for us to be involved in the final taking on the best.”

With Jasprit Bumraj, Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Shami, and Mohammed Siraj, India posses a potent pace attack, backed by two brilliant spinners in the form of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja. On the other hand, New Zealand’s bowling attack, too, is one of the finest.

With Tim Southee, Trent Boult, Kyle Jamieson, and the wiry Neil Wagner, the New Zealand fast-bowling attack has the ability to unstable any batting line-up. With Boult coming back to play in the WTC final, it will be a sweet headache for Williams to pick the playing XI. 

It will be interesting to see whether New Zealand will play the all-put pace attack or drop the left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner, or one among Jamieson and Wagner will miss out.

On Neil Wagner, Kane Williamson said: “He has been a pivotal part of our team for a number of years and his role is unique and certainly different from the other bowlers. His ability to bowl long spells and keep applying pressure for long periods of time has been something that has made him so successful at the international level. He is a big member of our side and a big character in our team. It is always great to have him along.”
