We’ve got Test cricket after IPL”: Virat Kohli all set for World Test Championship Final

His statement was in regard to the upcoming World Test Champions final which will be played against Australia from June 7 to June 12 at the Oval Stadium in England. Earlier on Thursday, Kohli won the “Player of the Match” in the Indian Premier League match against Sunrisers Hyderabad for his century while chasing a target of 187.
Kohli and Faf du Plessis’s breathtaking partnership of 172 clinched a dominating win and two crucial points for RCB against SRH in IPL at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Thursday.
After winning the “Player of the Match” award for his remarkable century, Kohli said at the post-match presentation that he does not want to throw his wicket easily by playing “so many fancy shots”.
“I’ve never been a guy who plays so many fancy shots – was having a chat with Aiden as well. We have to play 12 months of the year. For me, it’s not about playing fancy shots and throwing my wicket away. We’ve got Test cricket (coming up) after the IPL, have to stay true to my technique. When I can make an impact in an important game, it gives me confidence, it gives the team confidence,” he added.
India will play against Australia in the World test championship  final(WTC) from June 7 to June 12 at the Oval Stadium in England.
