Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh feels the World Test Championship final between India and New Zealand should have been a three-match tie as the current schedule puts Virat Kohli`s men at a "slight disadvantage". The Indian team, which landed in England on Thursday, goes into the game starting June 18 in Southampton with limited preparation time while New Zealand are already playing a two-Test series against hosts England.
"I feel in a situation like this, there should be a best of 3 Tests, because if you lose the first one then you can come back in the next two. India will have a slight disadvantage because New Zealand are already playing Test cricket in England," Yuvraj told `Sports Tak`. "There are 8-10 practice sessions but there`s no substitute for match-practice. It will be an even contest but New Zealand will have an edge," he said. Yuvraj said India have a stronger batting line-up compared to the Kane Williamson-led Black Caps.
