New Delhi: ESPNcricinfo, India’s premier destination for all things cricket gets ready to bring all-around game-around-the-game coverage underway for fans for India vs New Zealand World Test Championship (WTC) finals.
The entire ESPNcricinfo editorial desk from India, UK, and Australia will be joined by cricket experts such as Dale Steyn and Sanjay Manjrekar, to present session-by-session analysis for the fans in an engaging, informing, and entertaining manner. There will be four live shows per day and the coverage will be led by ESPNcricinfo’s flagship show Match Day, where leading cricket experts dissect each session of the match with real-time insights, statistics, and robust opinions.
Commenting on the association with ESPNcricinfo, Dale Steyn, the legendary South African fast-paced bowler said, “Test Matches have always had a very special place in my heart. It tests the team’s endurance and bond in a manner no other match does. I am happy to be a part of ESPNcricinfo where I get to observe the action once again and share the analysis with keen observers and fans of the sport. What better match to do this for than India vs New Zealand. I am beyond excited.”
Headlining the Indian line-up is Virat Kohli (Captain and top-order batter for India) and Kane Williamson (Captain and top-order batter for New Zealand).
