While the Kiwi team had won the first match of the three-match Test series being played between India and New Zealand by 8 wickets, now the second match of this series between the two teams will be played on the grounds of Pune from October 24. There has been a lot of discussion regarding the pitch of this match for the last few days, in which it is expected that it can prove to be very helpful for the spinners. In such a situation, this is no less than a big tension for the New Zealand team because they are leading 1-0 in this series and in such a situation, their efforts will be to win the Pune Test so that they can take an unassailable lead in the series. Now the statement of New Zealand team player Daryl Mitchell regarding the pitch of Pune Test match has come out, in which he has made it clear that his team will try to adjust to the kind of conditions they will get.
we can’t change wickets
Regarding the pitch of the Pune Test match, Daryl Mitchell said that we are happy that we were successful in winning the first Test match but we try to stay in the present so that we can keep ourselves in a better position. At the same time, we cannot change the pitch of Pune, it will remain as it is, in such a situation, we will have to adjust ourselves accordingly and I hope that we will come out on the field with a better strategy, in which we will try to score runs and take 20 wickets. Method will also be included. We have to play according to the kind of surface in front of us. Let us tell you that the Kiwi team got much better conditions for bowling in the first match, in which they restricted Team India’s first innings to a score of only 46 runs.
Every country has different challenges to play
While the first match of this three-match Test series was played in Bengaluru, the second Test will now be played at Pune ground, while the third Test match will be played at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Regarding this, Daryl Mitchell further said in his statement that there are different challenges of playing in all countries. You will get different types of spin wickets in Sri Lanka compared to here. Whereas here in Pune we have to play on a black soil pitch, whereas in Mumbai we will get a red soil pitch, both of which have different natures, hence I am confident that both of us will take the field with a better strategy in the Test.
