Former Indian batting legend Sunil Gavaskar feels that ICC should find a solution to decide a winner in case the rain-hit World Test Championship (WTC) final between India and New Zealand ends in a draw. This clash has been affected by English weather with the opening and the fourth day washed out completely, while the play has been interrupted frequently due to bad light.<\/p>\n
Although there is a Reserve Day with no play possible for two out of the first four days, the match will most probably end in a draw if inclement weather continues to stop the play. Sunil Gavaskar reported to Aaj Tak, \u201cThere must be a formula to pick a winner in case of the drawn World Test Championship final. ICC\u2019s cricket committee should think and then make a decision.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added, \u201cIt seems that the World Test Championship final will end up as a draw and the trophy will be shared. this will be the first time that the trophy will be shared in a final. To complete three innings in two days would be difficult. If both team bat badly, the three innings could be completed. In football, they have a penalty shootout or they have some other method to decide a winner. In Tennis, there are five sets and there is a tie-breaker.\u201d This statement shows that the legend urges ICC to find a tie-breaker to determine a winner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
