WTC Final: Team India’s plan for New Zealand leaked? Virat Kohli & Ravi Shastri conversation goes viral, see here

According to this conversation, one can guess that both Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami (Lala) will be part of India’s playing XI against the Kiwis.  However, with the plans getting leaked, it will be interesting to see that is indeed the case.

Cricketing plans for opposition are some of the best kept secrets in a team but on Wednesday (June 2), possibly Team India’s plan for New Zealand in the World Test Championships (WTC) Final were laid bare due to a captain Virat Kohli and coach Ravi Shastri’s error. The WTC Final is set to take place at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton beginning on June 18 with the Indian cricket team departed for the United Kingdom via a charter flight on Wednesday night. Both Shastri and Kohli didn’t have any idea that they were ‘live’ on a virtual press conference and were busy discussing their game plan in order to stand tall against Kane Williamson’s side. The audio of the same discussion went viral among fans and they started speculating India’s bowling combination. In the audio, Kohli can be heard speaking -- ‘Hum inko round the wicket dalwayenge, Left handers hai inpe, Lala, Siraj sabko start se hi laga denge.” At the same comment, Ravi Shastri replied – ‘hmmn’.
