2nd Test: Sans Ishant, India look to fight back against New Zealand
Christchurch, Feb 28: After conceding a heavy defeat in the first Test in Wellington, Team India will look to bounce back and level the two-match series when they take on New Zealand in the second game beginning Saturday. But Ishant Sharma being ruled out of the game is not a news that would be pleasing to skipper Virat Kohli's ears.
Coming back to the game, the highly rated Indian batting line-up, which boasts of having the likes of Virat Kohli, Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane, would want to fire on all cylinders after being caught napping against the pace attack of the Black Caps in Wellington. It was India's first loss in the ongoing ICC World Test Championship and even head coach Ravi Shastri acknowledged they needed a "shake-up" to come out of their fixed mindset.
