Nice guys dont always finish last: Media, cricket fraternity hail NZs WTC win #IndiaNEWS #Sports
Southampton: The global cricket fraternity was quick to applaud New Zealand after the perennial good guys of the game ended their major title drought with a hard fought win over India in the World Test Championship final.
Ross Taylor and Kane Williamson steered New Zealand home, humbling India by eight wickets in the marquee clash here Wednesday.
Having lost the 2015 and 2019 World Cup finals, the latter on a bizarre boundary rule to England after 50 overs each and two super overs couldnt split the two sides, everyones second favourite team finally crossed the final hurdle.
Turns out the nice guys of world cricket can finish first after all, wrote Stuff. Co. Nz
Until now, it had been a case of close, but no cigar, for the Black Caps, widely dubbed the nice guys of world cricket and everyones second favourite team.
The duo of former Pakistan captain Ramiz Raja and ex-India opener Gautam Gambhir couldnt agree more.
Good things happen to good people. Congrats Kane Williamson, Raja said

New Zealand have been one of the most consistent teams, although a tad bit unlucky, in recent times. They are currently the top-ranked team in Tests and ODIs and occupy the third spot in T20s.
And at the heart of New Zealands success is their Captain Cool Williamson one of the most likable players in cricket.
The Black Caps commitment to whole-hearted, ego-free cricket and a collective purpose delivered the silverware they so richly deserve, wrote The Guardian.
It couldnt happen to a more likeable sportsperson. What a great moment for what is now a great cricket nation: small, but perfectly formidable.
Huge congratulations New Zealand – youve earned that. A spotless record on Covid, and the World Test Championship: its a good time to be a Kiwi, they added.
Congratulations @BLACKCAPS a humble, hardworking and outstanding Test team- worthy champions, former England captain Michael Atherton tweeted.

Black Caps batsman Martin Guptill and former all-rounders Scott Styris and Grant Elliott were also delighted to achive the feat by defeating a formidable Indian side.
What incredible news to wake up to! Huge congrats to @kane_s_w and the rest of the @blackcapsnz ! Incredibly proud of this bunch of guys to come away with the win against a strong Indian side! Celebrate well lads! Guptill wrote.
