India vs New Zealand: Spin component will be a big factor in Test series, says Kane Williamson
India Today
New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson on Wednesday said spin will play a big role in the upcoming two-match Test series against India.
New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson believes the Blackcaps will not be the favourite to win the two-match Test series against India despite the absence of star Indian players like Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Shami. Williamson pointed out that spin will play a big role in the upcoming two-match Test series, saying both teams will be looking to play strong spin components in the Kanpur Test.
In Kanpur, New Zealand will face a stern test against the Indian spinners. In Indian conditions, the spin trio of R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel is a handful, with a combined tally of 470 wickets at an average of 20.97. It is going to be a daunting challenge for a Kiwi batting line-up that only has three players with experience of playing on Indian soil.
