India vs New Zealand, Bangalore Weather Forecast: The three-match Test series between India and New Zealand begins today (October 16). The first match will be played at 9.30 am today at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Even before this series, India captain Rohit Sharma and coach Gautam Gambhir had made their intentions clear.
Coach Gambill made it clear in his statement two days before the game that there could be rain or storms during the game. Regardless, the Indian team went in with the mentality of winning the match. If we have to use old tricks to do it, that’s what we’ll do. If that happens, Team New Zealand will lose.
Jasprit Bumrah is in, who will be out? This could be India’s 11th in the first Test against New Zealand
In fact, it may rain heavily in Indradev during the Bengaluru Test. This means there is a good chance of rain. If this happens, the outcome of the game will be difficult to determine. A similar equation was created in the Kanpur Test against Bangladesh. Then the first three days of competition were washed away by rain.
Bangladesh lost all four games in two days
Only 35 overs were played in the first three days, in which Bangladesh scored 107 runs by 3 wickets. When the game started on the fourth day, the Indian team coached by Gambhir made a different move that changed the entire game. Team India has only the last two days to win the Kanpur Test. In the past two days, Bangladesh had to lose in two games. Also, I have to hit the ball hard.
Team India did the same thing. Bangladesh started the match with 107 runs for 3 wickets and were reduced to 233 runs on the same day. Thereafter, the Indian team scored 285 runs for 9 wickets in a baseball match, declaring victory. On the last and fifth day of the tournament, Bangladesh started the match with this score but were reduced to 146 for just one ball before lunch.
Just like that, India achieved the target of 90 runs, which was achieved by captain Rohit Sharma’s side losing 3 wickets before the T-break. Just like that, rain, wet ground and the Bengal Tigers all came together to be beaten by India in two days in the Kanpur Test match.
Gambier issues clear warning to New Zealand
Before the Bengaluru Test, India head coach Gautam Gambhir issued a statement on Monday (October 14) to issue a clear warning to the New Zealand team. Gambhir said that if rain-like conditions arise, the Indian team will adopt the same strategy as it did in the Kanpur Test match in Bangladesh.
Gambhir made it clear that he will not control the batsmen in Test cricket because the greater the risk, the greater the reward. While issuing a warning to the New Zealand team, he said that the Indian team is capable of scoring 400 to 500 runs in a day.
The coach said, ‘Why do we need to limit him?’ If he can play natural cricket, if he can score 400 to 500 runs in a day, what’s the problem? We will continue with the attitude of greater risk, greater benefit, greater risk, greater possibility of failure.
