The first test between India and New Zealand is scheduled to start from tomorrow in Wellington and it looks like the visitors are going to have a hard time adjusting. BCCI today shared a picture of the scary-looking pitch which is mostly covered in grass so much so that it looks more like a Tennis grass-court.
Even though Captain Kohli was seen performing an effective practice session yesterday, the fans are pretty sure that Kohli and Co. will struggle in the upcoming test.
India to face difficult times at Wellington’s Grassy pitch
The host New Zealand has prepared this type of pitch especially to assist their pacers. The pitch is mostly green and there will be a lot of wind blowing, all this will certainly test the ability and reliability of team India. There will be a lot at stake when India will face off New Zealand in the upcoming two-match Test series starting from tomorrow.

The Kohli and Co. began their New Zealand tour with a bang where they swiped off the host in the five-match T20I series and made history. But thereafter New Zealand paid off in style when they whitewashed team India in three-match One Day series. The fact that New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson couldn’t play in that series because the injury didn’t affect a bit.
On the other side, India sure suffered the absence of hitman Rohit Sharma and given the present condition he will be out of the Test series as well.
india is loosing ?

India who currently holds the first position in the Test side is surely going to have tough experience on the ground tomorrow. With seven wins from as many games, the Test team of India has been on a roll in the ongoing ICC Test Championship. Hence, in no condition will India accept anything less than a victory. Let’s see the team, who traditionally struggle on green pitches whether would be able to combat the challenge.
