IND vs NZ: Here’s what Hardik Pandya said in the draw

We also thought to strike first, but the bowling is also very good. It’s a new team, but we talked about taking on the challenge and having to do tough things. It can’t get any harder than this in a two-sided series, losing game one and then two games on the line. Looking forward to that game. We’re going to make mistakes and we’ll learn from them. It could turn. Umran misses, Yuzi enters.

IND vs NZ: Here’s what Mitchell Santner said in the draw

We’re going to have a bat. Statistics say it’s hard to hunt here. We’ll try to get some leads on the board and see what it does. We had a tough one day streak, it was nice to bounce back with a win. Different guys coming in at different times are always nice. It’s never easy to beat India at home. This partnership between Surya and Hardik has put them back in the game. The key is to get the wickets through the middle, that’s the best way to slow them down. You must take this into account (larger dimensions on the floor). Same team.

IND vs NZ: New Zealand go for the bat
