India vs New Zealand: As per schedule, Team India is set to have a practice session at the M. Chinnaswamy stadium on Tuesday, but that is set to be delayed or may get cancelled due to incessant rain in the city. The Indian team may also opt for an indoor training session. The Test match is set to get underway in under 24 hours from now and this situation is extremely concerning for all. Going by the weather forecast, rain is going to be a constant over the five days of the Test. There is a 70-90% chance of rain on Day 1 and Day 2 of the Test match.
Ind vs NZ Preview
Meanwhile, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill, the torchbearers of transition, will have to be India’s driving force in their quest to lord over an unsettled New Zealand in a three-Test series, beginning here with the first match here on Wednesday.
The baton has not been completely passed, but Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are certainly running their last lap and these two young superstars will have to show that they can carry forward the legacy of the titans.
The signs, so far, are bright. Since a productive series against England earlier this year, Gill is now more familiar and comfortable with the rigours of Test cricket.
His last 10 innings contain three hundreds and two fifties, while Jaiswal’s last eight outings in Test cricket feature a 214 and five fifties.
