When it comes to the Indian cricket team, all eyes are on their high-profile match versus New Zealand in the World Test Championship (WTC) final.
The Men in Blue will fly for the United Kingdom on June 3, but before that, skipper Virat Kohli and head coach Ravi Shastri had a virtual press conference and answered questions from media.
According to Kohli and Shastri, the notion of two India squads playing at two different places in the future might become the norm.
Because the Test team, led by Kohli, will be in England preparing for the five-match Test series in July, the BCCI will send a different team to Sri Lanka for a limited-overs tour.
During the press conference, though, one particular moment received a lot of attention. Both Shastri and Kohli were busy discussing their game plan against the Blackcaps, unaware that they were already live. The recording of the same conversation went viral among fans in no time.
In the leaked audio, Kohli can be heard speaking- "hum inko round the wicket dalwayenge, Left handers hai inpe, Lala Siraj sabko start se hi laga denge" to which Shastri replied - “hmmn". Listen Audio here.
Kohli during the presser had stated, "We have worked hard for finals and nobody can take that away from us! There was no doubt we were gonna be featuring in the WTC Final. It's like football, we gotta keep our standards high”.

The final between India and New Zealand will take place on June 18, and the Men in Blue will have less time to prepare due to required quarantine in the United Kingdom.
The Blackcaps, on the other hand, will have an edge because they have already begun their two-match Test series against the home side, where they will have the idea of the playing conditions.
