India-NZ To Be Crowned Joint Winners if WTC Final Ends In a Draw

Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar feels the International Cricket Council (ICC) ought to have devised a formula to pick a winner in case the inaugural World Test Championship final between India and New Zealand gets washed out due to incessant rain in Southampton.

Gavaskar, while speaking to AajTak, also suggested both India and New Zealand can play another Test as WTC Final after a gap of 3-4 days as both the teams will be in England.

Notably, rain delayed the start of play on the fourth day of the inaugural World Test Championship (WTC) in Southampton on Monday. Only 141.1 overs have been bowled in the match so far, with rain washing out the entire opening day's play on Friday and interrupting play over the weekend.
