Expecting for old New Zealand bouncy pitches not flat ones. Looking forward to see Bumrah & Ishant bowling and batting by our Indian top order.
Nice to see Vihari and Pujara getting good score.
Playing XI is more clearer now as pant keeps wickets during practise game as well he scored runs in second innings small grounds will clearly helps his batting ,opener would be Mayank n prithvi and bowlers will bumrah, Ishant,shami with jadeja
1st test newzealand won the toss and chose bowling first.
