Skipper Virat Kohli said India were “relieved” to make the inaugural World Test Championship final and would now focus on that “one big game” against New Zealand in June after seeing off England.
India crushed Joe Root’s side inside three days in the fourth Test in Ahmedabad on Saturday to clinch the series 3-1 and finish top of the Test Championship table ahead of New Zealand.
India had led the standings until November, when a change in the points system because of disruption brought by the coronavirus pandemic promoted Australia to top spot.
The new system, based on percentage of points instead of total points, left India with the daunting task of needing to win Test series away in Australia and at home against England to make the final.
“We are relieved that now we have made it to the final,” Kohli told Board of Control for Cricket in India TV.
“Probably if you look at the last two-and-half years how we have played, we deserve to be in that final.
