New Zealand Star Names Two Indians Who Pose Maximum Threat In Test Series. Not Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma Or Jasprit Bumrah

Top-order batter Rachin Ravindra said on Monday that nullifying the twin threat posed by senior spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja will be crucial to New Zealand's success in the three-match series against India. Ashwin and Jadeja together have grabbed over 800 Test wickets, and are among the most experienced bowling pairs in world cricket at present. "They've got consistent bowlers who bowl in an area for a long period of time. I mean, you see the two spinners who play consistently, Ashwin and Jadeja, they're two very accomplished bowlers. You know, they can bat too, which makes it a little bit hard,” Ravindra told reporters on Monday.

Gautam Gambhir Silences Talks Around Virat Kohli's "Hunger" Ahead Of New Zealand Tests

India head coach Gautam Gambhir is not too concerned about the recent lukewarm form of Virat Kohli, insisting that the star batter remains as hungry as he was when he made his debut and should not be judged after every match. Kohli has made only one fifty, a 76 against South Africa at Centurion in December 2023, in his last eight innings, and him regaining his touch is crucial for India against New Zealand in a three-Test rubber starting on Wednesday and during the five-match series against Australia next month.

"Even If A Batter Scores 1000....": Blunt Gautam Gambhir Trashes Old Mindset Ahead Of New Zealand Tests

India head coach Gautam Gambhir emphasised the importance of bowlers and the need to end the batter's "obsessed" mindset ahead of the opening Test against New Zealand in Bengaluru at M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Wednesday. Over the past decade, a shift has slowly unfolded in the longest format of cricket, where batters spending an excessive amount of time have slowly been replaced by the bowlers' prowess. However, the recent Test match between India and Bangladesh in Kanpur proved to be a reminder that the way red-ball cricket is played has changed.
