Michael Bevan wrote on Instagram,"1. Preparation; India were short of match practice in English conditions, 2. Conditions; suited NZ swing bowlers more than the India bowlers, 3.

Captain Virat Kohli is known for his aggression. He also tried to put pressure on the Kiwi bowlers by scoring fast runs on the reserve day of the WTC final match of the World Test Championship, but his move backfired and Team India was reduced to just 170 runs.
In this way, New Zealand got a target of just 139 runs to win. The Kiwis lost two wickets early, but then captain Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor together stitched a solid partnership to chase down the target and make New Zealand the first World Test champions.
"You need to have a fast-bowling allrounder for that. We've been successful with this combination in different conditions. We thought this was our best combination, and we had batting depth as well, and if there was more game time, the spinners would have come into the game more as well," Virat Kohli said at the post-match presentation.
