Time 'world-class' Indian bowlers learnt art of cleaning the tail
Kolkata, March 2: The just concluded two-Test series between India and New Zealand is definitely one Virat Kohli and boys would wish to forget like a bad dream. Not only did they lose the two matches, they were humbled in every department laying bare the chinks in their armour which, in recent past, lay hidden under the veneer of success, mostly at home. And what cost India the series was their inability to shave off the tail in both the Tests.
While India did come into the Test series knowing that playing in testing New Zealand conditions was going to be tough. But one aspect that gave many confidence was India's bowling battery. In fact, India were fortunate to get the services of Ishant Sharma ahead of the first Test. It is another story that he had walked into the game not a 100 per cent and ended up sitting out the second game. But what would have hurt India more was the failure against the wagging Kiwi tail.
