IND vs NZ Dream11 Prediction for Today Match

The Indian team would surely be really disappointed with their batting in both the innings as barring debutant Shreyas Iyer who scored a remarkable century and fifty in the Test match, the rest of the batters failed to contribute with any noticeable performances especially the senior duo of Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara. Team India‘s regular captain Virat Kohli is all set to make a return for this second Test match. On the other hand, New Zealand will be high on confidence after a courageous effort in Kanpur both with the bat and ball. The Kiwis now have a great chance to win their maiden Test series in India.
