Southampton, June 23, 2021: After coming second on two back-to-back occasions in ODI World Cups in 2015, and 2019, New Zealand finally got their hands on the ICC trophy. The number one Test side in the world beat India by 8 wickets in a rain-affected six-day inaugural World Test Championship final at Southampton to clinch an ICC title after 21 years.

Reacting to the same, the cricket fraternity took to social media and congratulate New Zealand on the ultimate glory.

Congrats @BLACKCAPS on winning the #WTC21. You were the superior team.#TeamIndia will be disappointed with their performance.

As I had mentioned the first 10 overs will be crucial & 🇮🇳 lost both Kohli & Pujara in the space of 10 balls & that put a lot of pressure on the team. pic.twitter.com/YVwnRGJXXr

A contest worthy to be called a Final.
The pendulum kept swinging both ways throughout the game but it was NZ who showed why they are the number 1 test side.
Congratulations to the @blackcaps!

Well played #TeamIndia, proud today and always! @bcci#WTCFinal #INDvNZ

Congrats NZ on #WTC21 win. Their bowling had so much variety and no visible weak link. The colour of clothes and ball might change, but NZ's consistency is admirable. @BLACKCAPS

Good guys don’t always finish last….New Zealand have finally ended the two-decade ICC trophy drought. Even-stevens in the first innings but totally outplayed India in the second innings. Well done, 🇳🇿 #WTCFinal
