Team India is trailing 0-1 in the three-match series against New Zealand. In the first match played in Bengaluru, Team India had to face a crushing defeat by eight wickets. Now the teams of India and New Zealand will face each other in Pune. Team India would like to make a comeback through this match. Before the start of this match, the strategy of Team India is coming out, in which it is being said that to defeat the Kiwi team, a spin friendly pitch will be made in Pune. This will be the same pitch as it was during the captaincy of Virat Kohli.
Team India's masterplan under the captaincy of Virat
Team India's Test record under the captaincy of Virat has been very good. If we look at the statistics, under his captaincy, Team India has faced defeat in only two matches at home. If this happens then the chances of Team India's victory will increase significantly. According to reports, the Pune pitch will be dry and will have less bounce. If this happens then captain Rohit Sharma can go with three spinners.
Washington may get a chance in Pune
Team India has included spin all-rounder Washington Sundar in the team for this match and it is expected that he will be included in the team. Along with Sundar, Axar Patel may also get a chance in the Pune Test, who can strengthen the team's batting as well as spin bowling. Like Bengaluru, India would like to field at least three spinners in Pune, although the combination can be changed considering the spin provided by the slow pitch.
India lost to Australia
This will be the third Test to be played at the MCA Stadium in Pune. The first match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy was played on this ground between India and Australia in 2016-17, in which the Kangaroo team managed to win by 333 runs. The match ended at tea on the third day, with Australian left-arm spinner Steve O'Keefe taking 12 wickets.
