India captain Virat Kohli feels there is no need to panic due to lack of practice games ahead of the World Test Championship final against New Zealand in Southampton from June 18. The Black Caps are perhaps slightly ahead in terms of preparation as they are already in England for a two-match Test series. “With the hunger and desire to play the final, we have no issues with even four practice sessions heading into the game. Even players like Mohammed Siraj has played for India A in England,” Kohli told reporters on Wednesday. If 2014, if you would have told about WTC final, I would have had a tough time to believe that we will be playing it," he said.
