NZ tour of India 2024 - 3 Tests

[Bigby Wolf]

Why is Axar Patel not playing?

Is he injured? on tracks like these because of his height he can run through the opposition and batting more than handy.

I hope India try out Baba Indrajith sometime. His older brother, Baba Aparajith was good, but never got a look in the Indian side.

Sarfaraz has disappointed. 4/5 poor home innings certainly isn't good by any stretch of imagination. Meanwhile,in Australia, Sai Sudarshan and Paddikkal have led the recovery well. Few options for India to consider Incase things go terribly downhill from here on.

If somehow NZ collapses badly this innings then only whitewash can be avoided.

Will be a historic series this if 3-0 happens

You gotta love the crowd here at Wankhede.

Remember last year my friend telling me how sporting the crowd is at Wankhede or Pune compare to the Ahemdabad.

 

[icyman]

If NZ get 200+ ,it is a whitewash for sure. For India to have a chance at avoiding this, they need to bundle NZ out for under 150.

I'm appalled at the fact that nobody is talking about Vihari. If we are looking for a solid middle order batsman @5/6 as a backup for Sarfaraz, Vihari is the man not just with the technique but experience and record in Australia.

Good luck chasing even 100 on this track.

Gill will be vital in 4th innings chase his jab cut shots will be the x factor

 

[asprin]

I think NZ have enough. The 9th wicket partnership of 25+ runs is worth gold given the context.

I wouldn't bet on us getting that many on this pitch.

Lol 2 down already.

 

[Bigby Wolf]

4 down going to be all out under 100.

 

[ddrap14]

Methinks India have perhaps focused too much on away pitches in their development...

Too bad he didn't offer a shot.

 

[Bigby Wolf]

Deserves 3-0 hammering the way India played especially batted this whole series.

They look down and out and don't think so they will do any better down under.

Could well be 8-0 by the end of that tour.

The batting is in absolute shambles.

Might get a couple of fifties here and there and thats it.
