Cricket’s inaugural World Test Championship commenced only a fortnight after the completion of the 2019 ODI tournament, and would account for more months than the combined total of all the 12 editions of that established competition. This book celebrates this unique sport and its singular World Championship; it rejoices in New Zealand's crowning as its first ever official World Champions, and India's entertaining journey to become the first ever runners-up.

The book also attempts to answer a few questions: what had we learnt across 23 soul-enriching months? Had Test cricket received a shot in the arm that rendered it immune to any further raids from virulent variants of pseudo-cricket like The Hundred? Were the Test matches that constituted the WTC raised to a level above “run of the mill” ones in bilateral Test series, the way World Cup ODIs are obviously elevated compared to contextless bilateral One Day Internationals?
