Legendary West Indies pacer, Ian Bishop has said that Virat Kohli will be keen to conquer the World Test Championship (WTC) and it will be huge if he manages to pull off a win in the final after having added a new dimension to the way India play Test cricket. Ian Bishop, during a virtual press conference organized by Star Sports, said the WTC final will be a huge moment for Virat Kohli, who has been an influential figure in terms of upholding the importance of Test cricket over the years.

Describing the same, Ian Bishop said, “It will be huge for Virat. He has led from the front, which is one of the important things for a good captain. He is a batsman who is at the top of the game along with Kane, his opposite number and one or two other guys who are around the cricketing circle and it’s a small group. Virat has got a lot to play for.”

He further added, “I think Virat would badly want it because for all the good work that he has done. The belief in his fast bowlers, changing the dynamics and the positivity, taking it to another level. To have that trophy in that cabinet for himself, for his team and his country, you can’t substitute that.”

Meanwhile, Bishop also said India will be looking to win the ICC WTC final and pay tribute to the millions who suffered back home due to the Covid-19 crisis. The whole country was badly hit by the 2nd wave of infections with many losing lives and livelihoods over the last few months.
