The Hindu
The New Zealand captain said the aim is to try to come out with a game plan to accommodate the turning ball, while looking to score
“I am sure throughout the series, the spin component will be a definite factor. It's no different here at Kanpur. We played here in 2016 but things have changed a little bit. It will be about assessing those conditions as quickly as possible and trying to make those adjustments as a side quickly.”
These words from skipper Kane Williamson give a peak into the preparation and mindset of the New Zealand batters against the potent threat of Indian spinners - R. Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel and Jayant Yadav - in the two-Test series.
“The guys have been trying to prepare as well as they can and looking forward to the challenge,” Williamson said on the eve of the first Test here.
