New Delhi. After losing the first Test match against New Zealand, the Indian team is under pressure to make a comeback. Now the second test match between the two teams will be played in Pune. This game is a matter of life or death for India. The host must win at all costs to maintain their hopes of winning the series. This is also necessary for the final race of the World Test Championship. This is the reason why India can use its old strength against New Zealand. This is the spinners’ strength, which is also New Zealand’s weakness.

The second Test match between India and New Zealand will be played in Pune from October 24. This game can be played on the spin track. According to Cricinfo, a black ground pitch has been prepared for the second Test. There is no trace of grass on it. On this pitch there is not only more rotation, but also less bounce. That is, such a pitch where spinners can make the batsmen dance with their spin.

The reason for preparing such a turning point is the defeat in Bengaluru. New Zealand defeated India by 8 wickets in Bengaluru. In the first innings of this match, the Indian team had only 46 runs. The credit for defeating India favorably goes to New Zealand’s fast bowlers, who shared all ten wickets between them. These bowlers had made full use of the bouncy pitch. New Zealand’s pacers also benefited from the bad weather.

India have added a new spinner to their team after the defeat in the first game. Now Washington Sundar will also be in the team. This clearly means that India is stepping up their spin attack for the Test match in Pune. Now it seems certain that India can start the Pune Test with three spinners and two pacers. Team India had fielded three pacers and two spinners in Bengaluru.
