2nd T20I: When You Come Up Against A Side Like India, You Need To Go Harder, Says NZ Skipper Santner
Skipper Suryakumar Yadav: New Zealand skipper credited Indian batters for successfully chasing down a stiff target of 209 runs with 28 balls remaining, jokingly saying that even 300 might not be enough against India, acknowledging how aggressive and deep they bat on good surfaces.
Skipper Suryakumar Yadav was unbeaten (82) as Ishan Kishan's fiery (76) guided hosts to a seven-wicket victory in the second T20I to go 2-0 up in the five-match series. It was also the second-highest successful chase in India’s T20I history. Only India’s 211/4 against Sri Lanka in Mohali in 2009 stands above it, with the Raipur effort also eclipsing chases of 209/4 vs West Indies (Hyderabad, 2019), 209/8 vs Australia (Vizag, 2023), and 204/4 vs New Zealand (Auckland, 2020).
The New Zealand captain said facing a side like India demands greater intent with the ball, admitting that totals in the 200–210 range no longer feel safe against such line-ups. "Against these guys, 300 maybe. When you come up against a side like India, which bats deep on a good wicket. The way they came out with intent from ball one. It was for us; it was trying to squeeze it if we could. We probably have to go a bit harder as well, knowing 200-210s are not enough," Santner said after the match.
