Preview: Test cricket returns to Wankhede after 2016 India, New Zealand face off in second Test
The iconic Wankhede Stadium, which has hosted several high-profile matches including the 2011 ODI World Cup final, will host a Test almost five years later when India take on New Zealand in the second match of the series.
The last Test, which was hosted by the South Mumbai ground, was against England on 8–12 December 2016, which was won by the hosts by an innings and 36 runs.
Last time, when India played here, the captain Virat Kohli have scored a stupendous 235, so Friday is yet to come, it remains to be seen whether the captain, who took a break for the first Test, can score another daddy century, which has been missing for the past two years.
