After a crushing innings defeat at the hands of India in the first Test at Hyderabad, a resurgent New Zealand will be looking to get their act together ahead of the second and final Test at Bangalore. The Kiwis were humbled by the Indian spin attack of R Ashwin and Pragyan Ojha, which led to their batting collapse altogether. Cheteshwar Pujara's maiden ton helped India post a huge first innings total that led to the visitors being subjected to a follow-on. Skipper Ross Taylor will need to find a better way of tackling the Indian spinners in the next Test. India will be high on momentum and they would be eager to stay consistent with their form. This clash has all the makings of another Test match to remember.
Greetings to all our viewers across the globe and thank you for tuning in to the coverage of the second Test match between India and New Zealand at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. It was a dominating show by the hosts in Hyderabad as they steamrolled the Kiwis to take a 1-0 lead in the series and once again will be the favourites. New Zealand, on the other hand, would wish to present a tough fight this time around. This is the team of Prakash, Karthik, Priyank and Vidula to cover all the action.
Offence is the best defence, says NZ captain Taylor! Read the entire article in our NEWS section
Players to Watch: Ravichandran Ashwin - He rattled the New Zealand batsmen with 12 wickets in the first Test. His presence in the team will be vital for India and threatening for the Kiwis. Kane Williamson - He scored a fifty in the last match, but what makes him special is his ability to tackle Indian spin better than most of his teammates. The youngster will be the key for New Zealand.
It is a good Test wicket. Will offer some lateral movement with the new ball and then there will be turn as the game progresses. Sunil Gavaskar reckons, it will be excellent for batting for the first two days.
Ross Taylor has won the coin toss and New Zealand will bat! He says that the wicket is good and they would look to bat well. Also informs that Tim Southee replaces Chris Martin. MS Dhoni was looking to bat as well but says that one cannot win the toss all the time. Feels that the overcast conditions and some grass on the strip will assist his seamers. India are unchanged!
India: Gautam Gambhir, Virender Sehwag, Cheteshwar Pujara, Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, MS Dhoni(c/wkt), Ravichandran Ashwin, Zaheer Khan, Pragyan Ojha, Umesh Yadav.
New Zealand: Brendon McCullum, Martin Guptill, Kane Williamson, Ross Taylor(c), Daniel Flynn, James Franklin, Kruger van Wyk(wkt), Doug Bracewell, Tim Southee, Jeetan Patel, Trent Boult.
