Not just that, India head coach Gautam Gambhir was also spotted having a chat with chief selector Ajit Agarkar. Also during the session, the top and middle-order batters faced the in-house spin quartet of Varun Chakravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja, before taking on an ensemble of local spinners. 

In the previous match, New Zealand skipper Santner had bowled a tight spell (10-1-41-1) but Bracewell was a bit expensive at 9-0-56-0.

India would be confident about the match as they have got the better of the Blackcaps earlier in the tournament. Yet, India would be aware that NZ have quality players and they could push the Men in Blue. 

It would be interesting to see the XI India opt for, in all probability, it would be the same XI that beat Australia in the semi-final.
