Don't want him to lose his positivity: Kohli backs Pant

Despite Rishabh&nbsp;Pant being India's top scorer in the 2nd innings of the World Test Championship final vs New Zealand, there were a few who were critical in the way he got out.
But Virat&nbsp;Kohli&nbsp;has come out in support of the young wicketkeeper-batsman and said that&nbsp;he doesn't want Pant to lose his positivity or his optimism in&nbsp;changing the situation for the team, and that's where his USP&nbsp;lies. Virat&nbsp;added that Pant assesses the situation very well and at times when things don&rsquo;t come off, it is an error of judgment, which is acceptable in sport.&nbsp;
The Indian skipper further said that&nbsp;they will continue to back Pant to play that way and find ways to put pressure on the opposition.

After The Kiwis beat India by&nbsp;8 wickets to win the World Test Championship mace on Wednesday,&nbsp;Team India head coach Ravi Shastri said that New Zealand were "deserved winners".
Shastri&nbsp;tweeted to congratulate New Zealand&nbsp;and said that better team won in the conditions. He added that it was a classic example of the fact that Big things don't come easy.
India come into the WTC&nbsp;final after ending the 2-year Test match cycle as table toppers but Kane Williamson's men proved too tough for them in the summit clash.

The entire cricketing world is speaking highly of New Zealand&nbsp;after they beat India to win the inaugural World Test Championship but a big complement by&nbsp;Sir Richard Hadlee&nbsp;would probably be the most special one.&nbsp;
Regarded as one of the most impactful&nbsp;Kiwi cricketers in history,&nbsp;Hadlee&nbsp;rated this Blackcaps&nbsp;side as&nbsp;the best in New Zealand's cricketing history.&nbsp;The iconic pacer, who was the first bowler in international cricket to take 400 Test wickets, said that Kane Williamson's men&nbsp;thoroughly deserved the win as the whole team has shown a high degree of professionalism.

Ace Indian cricketer Ravichandran&nbsp;Ashwin&nbsp;has proved his mettle yet again. The off-spinner ended&nbsp;the 2-year-long World Test Championship&nbsp;cycle as the leading wicket-taker after the final ended on Wednesday.&nbsp; The 34-year-old claimed 71 wickets in 14 Tests in the inaugural&nbsp;edition of the&nbsp;WTC. Ashwin&nbsp;took 2 wickets each in both innings of the final match against New Zealand. He&nbsp;also claimed 4 five-wicket hauls in WTC.&nbsp; Australia's Pat Cummins with 70 wickets followed him and England's Stuart Board secured 3rd place with 69 scalps.&nbsp;

After India went down against New Zealand&nbsp;in the World Test Championship final, Sachin&nbsp;Tendulkar&nbsp;has picked the reason which put India under pressure.
As The Master Blaster tweeted to congratulate The Kiwis, he wrote that losing both Virat&nbsp;Kohli&nbsp;and Cheteshwar&nbsp;Pujara&nbsp;in a span of 10 balls put a lot of pressure on the team, as first 10 overs were crucial on the final day.
India needed a good batting performance on the reserved 6th Day but were all out for just 170, setting New Zealand&nbsp;a moderate 139-run target.

While&nbsp;New Zealand&nbsp;got the better of India by 8 wickets in the WTC&nbsp;finals, Indian&nbsp;skipper Virat&nbsp;Kohli&nbsp;feels that one Test match cannot decide the winner. Just like the Indian head coach Ravi Shastri, Virat advocated for the final consisting of three-match Test series in future editions.&nbsp;
 Virat said, "At the end of three matches, you know there's effort, there's ups and downs, there's you know situations changing throughout the course of the series, a chance to rectify the things that you've done wrong in the first game and then you know really see who's the better side over the course of a three-match series is something that will be a good measure of how things really are"

After suffering a defeat in the World Test Championship final, Indian skipper&nbsp;Virat Kohli&nbsp;wasn't very happy with the way the batters executed their plans. Kohli&nbsp;said, "I&nbsp;don't think there's any technical difficulties as such. I think it's more down to game awareness and being a little more brave in putting bowlers under pressure and not allowing them to bowl in you know similar areas for longer periods of time unless it's absolutely overcast and you know the ball's swinging all over the place like it did on Day 1. I think outside of that we need to be able to take... move the game forward and put the opposition under pressure and that's key to playing and performing in difficult conditions."
The famed batting line up failed to impress and scored 217 and 170 in the two innings vs the Kiwis as the batters failed to capitalise on good starts.&nbsp;

Germany managed to pull through the group stage with a late 2-2 draw against Hungary at the Allianz&nbsp;Arena in Munich on Thursday.&nbsp; The nerve-wracking&nbsp;evening saw the first goal from Captain Adam Szalai, giving Hungarians the upper hand for the complete first half. Kai Havertz&nbsp;finally equalized the score in the 66th minute only to be left behind a moment later. Andras&nbsp;Schafer&nbsp;netted the goal again for Marco Rossi's&nbsp;side in the 68th minute.&nbsp; Leon Goretzka, however, saved the day for Germany as he levelled the match in the 85th minute, helping&nbsp;the former World champions secure the 2nd spot in Group F. They will now face England in the round of 16 on Tuesday.

Spain registered their phenomenal first win at Euro 2020 as they crushed Slovakia 5-0 in their final group game on Wednesday in Sevilla. After suffering a stalemate and a frustrating 1-1 draw at the Championship, Luis Enrique's men showed up, and how! It all started off with&nbsp;Slovak&nbsp;footballer Martin Dubravka's&nbsp;own goal, after which Aymeric Laporte, Pablo Sarabia, Ferran&nbsp;Torres got on the scroesheet. Another dreadful mistake by Juraj&nbsp;Kucka in the 2nd half made it five goals for the Spanish team.&nbsp; With the win, Spain secured 2nd place in Group E as they next face Croatia on Monday in round of 16. &nbsp;

It was a pulsating final Group F game at Puskas&nbsp;Arena in Budapest between Portugal and France, which saw the world champion side securing the top spot in the group of death with a 2-2 draw.&nbsp; A show from former teammates&nbsp;Karim&nbsp;Benzema and Cristiano&nbsp;Ronaldo&nbsp;dictated the game.&nbsp;Ronaldo&nbsp;equaled men's all-time international scoring record with his 108th and 109th goals, scored from penalty spots. In reply, Benzema&nbsp;too scored a penalty in both halves.&nbsp; Both teams have already sealed their places in the round of 16, with France occupying the top spot in the group and Portugal third.&nbsp;

Despite losing the World Test Championship final vs New Zealand, Virat&nbsp;Kohli&nbsp;had no regrets of naming the playing XI in advance.&nbsp;
During the post match interview, the Indian skipper said that&nbsp;they have been successful with this combination in different conditions and they thought that this was their best combination. Kohli&nbsp;added that his side had batting depth as well, and if there was more game time, the spinners would have come into the game more.&nbsp;
Kohli&nbsp;also highlighted the fact that he didin't&nbsp;have the luxury&nbsp;of a fast-bowling all-rounder as well.

Virat Kohli's wait for an ICC trophy as senior India team skipper got longer, as New Zealand&nbsp;outplayed India to win the inaugural World Test Championship final by 8 wickets.&nbsp;
India needed to bat big on Day 6 but they didn't. Wickets at regular intervals meant that Kohli's&nbsp;men were bowled out for just 170, setting Kiwis a moderate target of 139. Though New Zealand&nbsp;lost both openers with 44 runs on the board, Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor dug deep and carried their side off the finish line without any more hiccup.&nbsp;
India have now lost in an ICC&nbsp;final 5 times, 2nd most among all teams in the history of cricket.&nbsp;

Ravindra Jadeja&nbsp;reclaimed his number 1 spot in the newly released ICC&nbsp;Test rankings for all-rounders&nbsp;on Wednesday. He moved up one spot to dethrone&nbsp;West Indies' Jason Holder, who&nbsp;had a forgettable 2-match Test series vs South Africa.
Jadeja returned to the top spot after having topped both the bowling and the all-rounders&rsquo; charts in the ICC Test Rankings in 2017. The 32-year-old, who is with the Indian team on their UK tour, now has 386 points, 2 more than Holder.&nbsp;

After Cristiano Ronaldo's&nbsp;move to sideline&nbsp;the two coca-cola bottles over water gave a headache to the beverage giant's public &amp; financial standing, Swedish giants Ikea&nbsp;have decided to capitalise on that viral moment. A set of glass bottles named Cristiano&nbsp;have emerged on Ikea's&nbsp;website &amp; social media pages with a tagline&nbsp;'Reusable bottle for Water only'. The marketing team at Ikea&nbsp;surely deserves a pat on the back for capitalising on the incident which took place during a press conference at Euro 2020 when the Portuguese superstar moved around a couple of coca-cola bottles and asked the people to chose water over aerated beverages.&nbsp;
