After the completion of the 16th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Monday, May 29, India will lock horns with Australia in the final of the Test Championship, which is scheduled to take place from June 7 to June 11 at The Oval, in Southampton. This will be the second consecutive Test Championship Final for the Indian side.
Indian Cricket Board established a collaboration with Adidas for India’s jersey across three formats only days before the start of the World Test Championship final.
