With New Zealand in a strong position by accumulating a lead of 301 runs at the end of day two\u2019s play in Pune, India are staring at a first series loss at home since losing 2-1 to Alastair Cook-led England in December 2012. Sundar believes India can conjure up something special in remaining days to save the match, series and their proud unbeaten streak at home.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWith this Indian team, you can definitely expect special things, as last few years and decades have seen special things happen for us. It\u2019s time for us to put on another special show today and tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThe wicket has lot to offer, especially in the first session due to moisture. It will be key for us to get them all out probably just around first drinks and then try to bat full day to score as much runs as possible,\u201d said Sundar in a chat with broadcasters ahead of day three\u2019s play.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Sundar has been a standout bowler for India in the match, picking a career-best 7-59 in the first innings and taking four wickets on day two. Outshining senior spinners like Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja at home is rare for any Indian spinner, and Sundar stated his focus was to keep things simple.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI love bowling just as much as batting. It\u2019s a great opportunity for me to just be in the game throughout the duration of the match. It\u2019s such a blessing and God has been kind. When I started my spell, I wanted to keep things tight and not really experiment too much. \u201c<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI wanted to be in the game for a long time and it\u2019s been great to have two senior pros alongside me. I really wanted to support them by keeping things tight and stay in the game as a team. In my second spell, I tried a few things which worked really well for me on that day and really look forward to get them out as soon as possible today.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
