New Zealand, on the other hand, will play their first match after their historic win in the World Test Championship final and will always present a challenge to the Indian order. Tim Southee and Neil Wagner will be the two fast bowlers in whom the left-arm spin duo of Ajaz Patel and Mitchell Santner have the potential to trouble the Indian batting order.
India’s bowling will revolve around their spinners and it will be interesting to see the pitch prepared for this first Test in Kanpur. Axar Patel and R Ashwin will be in the squad and Ravindra Jadeja can play higher up the order as a genuine all-rounder.
