Preparation And Adaptability Fuelled New Zealand's 3-0 Series Triumph In India, Says Ajaz Patel
From Sri Lanka: New Zealand’s left-arm spinner Ajaz Patel has reflected on his team's historic 3-0 Test series victory over India, emphasising that their meticulous preparation for diverse playing conditions was key to their success. This monumental win marked New Zealand as the first touring side to achieve a clean sweep against India in a Test series played at home, a feat that has etched its place in cricketing history.
Ajaz Patel, who took a total of 11 wickets across the two innings of the Mumbai Test, shared insights into the Kiwis' rigorous preparation ahead of their tour of India. He highlighted the importance of acclimatizing to turning pitches, stating, “We had a great winter back home where we prepared on turning wickets. We made sure we had different surfaces that we tried and practiced on, so we were, I guess, conditioned to bowling on different surfaces as well," Patel told ICC.
This strategic groundwork has paid dividends, allowing the team to adapt swiftly to the varying conditions they faced during the series.
