Preview

The recent Test match between Team India and New Zealand delivered an unexpected and surprising result, with the visitors securing their first win in India since 1988, which gave them a 1-0 lead in the three matches of the Test series. Looking forward, the Black Caps are now eyeing registering a historic series win in India by winning the second Test match, slated to commence on October 24 at Maharashtra Cricket Association in Pune.

With Tom Latham and his men will be hoping to maintain their winning streak over Rohit Sharma and Co., it is worth mentioning that the recent loss does not diminish Team India's strength. The Men in Blue remains an extremely powerful and resilient team on their home turf, particularly with the Pune pitch, which might favor spinners in the game.

After losing the series opener, and even some players did put up magnificent performances, Team India will aim to mark a turnaround in the second Test match. The home team fans reminisced about how Rohit Sharma and Co. bounced back against England after losing the first Test and were hopeful that they would make the same comeback against the 2021 World Test Championship winners. The forthcoming Test match in Pune would be a crucial game as everything would be at stake for the home team in their World Test Championship campaign.

Rishabh Pant IND | WK

The Indian wicket-keeper batter has hammered 119 runs in the series opener and seems one of the best batter from the Team India camp. The 26-year-old cricketer would be aiming to take on the Black Caps in the next game. The southpaw missed out from a well deserved century in the second innings of the first Test match but would be hoping to have a blast in the second game to help India level up the series. He is one of the best batters in the Test history and having him in your team as a captaincy pick can be benificial.
