Virat Kohli to receive ICC Test Championship mace at the end of 3rd T20I

Dubai, Feb 24: India skipper Virat Kohli will receive the ICC Test Championship Mace by the International Cricket Council (ICC) at the end of the third and final T20 international against South Africa at the Newlands Stadium in Cape Town on Saturday (February 24).

On behalf of the ICC, ICC Cricket Hall of Famers Sunil Gavaskar and Graeme Pollock of South Africa will make the presentation immediately after the awards ceremony for the T20I series.

India have ensured the number one spot on the ICC Test Team Rankings and a prize of USD 1 million after their victory in the third and final Test at Johannesburg against South Africa last month. The win had ensured that no team can move ahead of India in the Test rankings at the 3 April cut-off date.

Team India embarked upon the tour of South Africa with the first Test starting at the same venue. India lost the three-Test series 2-1 but a win in the third and final Test at Johannesburg ensured Kohli and his boys keep their ranking intact.

India came back strongly in the ODI series and won it by a margin of 5-1 and registered their first-ever series win on the South African soil.
