    Bharat arun with Ishant Sharma Shami and Bumrah

    The former Indian Test cricketer and current Bowling coach of the Indian national cricket team Bharat Arun backs India team. Speaking on behalf of the Indian bowlers he states that current Team India players have the capabilities of defeating this combative New Zealand side in its own backyard. India and New Zealand will play two matches series  scheduled to start from February 21. Previously India won the T20I trophy by whitewashing New Zealand and vice versa New Zealand won the ODI trophy by Whitewashing India.

    After an eye for eye whitewash series these two will face each other in the test series. Inspite of the India’s best performance, team India lose the ODI series where New Zealand registered an impressive whitewash.

    Coach Bharat Arun’s confession

    When Bharat interact with Sportstar he states :”New Zealand is a combative side but we have the team to beat it in its backyard. We were without six of our World Cup players.”

    “Sometimes, it is not all about winning. It’s about trying out cricketers in different positions and we might lose some matches in the bargain,” he added.

    He also claimed that each Indian pacer can take their turn to bowl against the oncoming wind at the Basin Reserve in Wellington which will play a key factor during the match.

    “Not one, but each of our pacemen could take turns bowling against the wind.”

    “We could also ask the spinner to bowl against the wind and rotate the pacemen from the other end,” said Bharat.

    Ross Taylor’s warning for Kiwis

    Previously New Zealand player Ross Taylor who is in verge to achieve as a first player to play 100 test matches warned Kiwis about the Indian bowling. When he speaks about the upcoming test match against India, he warned New Zealand players about the Indian bowling order. Ishant Sharma who returned from injury add benefit for the Indian bowling line. By stating  “I think if we just look at Bumrah, we are in trouble. I think their whole bowling lineup is fantastic. Obviously, Sharma coming back will bring new dynamics to the team,” he warned Kiwis to look aftfer the Indian bowling.

    “They have got a world-class batting line-up as well and we have to get through that. But they are the No. 1 team in the world for a reason and we know we have to be on our game to be successful against them,” he added.

    Kohli’s statement

    He mentioned that “We have reached a stage where every team wants to beat us and New Zealand won’t be any different,”. India is in the top position of the ICC World Test Championship points table and are scheduled to play two test match against New Zealand who holds the sixth position.

    Ross Taylor who shows his glorious form in the last ODI against India is just a day away from becoming the first cricketer to play 100 test matches. He already competed in 231 ODIs and 100 T20 Internationals while just three weeks away from his 36th birthday.

    Taylor – regards Indian bowling

    When he speaks about the upcoming test match against India, he warned New Zealand players about the Indian bowling order. Ishant Sharma who returned from injury add benefit for the Indian bowling line. By stating  “I think if we just look at Bumrah, we are in trouble. I think their whole bowling lineup is fantastic. Obviously, Sharma coming back will bring new dynamics to the team,” he warned Kiwis to look aftfer the Indian bowling.

    “They have got a world-class batting line-up as well and we have to get through that. But they are the No. 1 team in the world for a reason and we know we have to be on our game to be successful against them,” he added.

    Regarding the milestone achievement

    Speaking about his view on his early days he said : “Yeah, I think so. That shapes you as a person and as a player,” he agreed instantly. “Sometimes it’s not necessarily the runs you get and the good times. It’s how you deal with failures along the way that shape you as a person, as the way you go about your training, as a teammate.

    “Sometimes it’s the negative things that make you stronger and more resilient, and that’s what you need to be a Test player,” said Taylor.

    Achievement delayed

    Taylor would have reached this milestone previously in the match played against Australia in Sydney but terror attack in Christchurch results in cancelling the test against Bangladesh. This made an opportunity for Taylor to complete his 100th test match in front of his friends and family in home.

    “David White (NZC CEO) comes in and gives us a talk about what games are coming up and you start doing the math and he actually says Ross, it’s going to be your 100th Test in Sydney. But obviously what happened in Christchurch last year with the shootings at the mosque had moved things back a game.

    “But then, things happen for a reason, I believe, and it’s nice for it to happen back home. I don’t know how many people would have traveled to Sydney for it. So it’s nice for it to be here.”

    Wishes from former teammates 

    Brendon McCullum

    “I just got a call from Brendon before we got here saying all the best. He said ‘do better than what I did’, I don’t know what he got in his 100th game. I asked if there was any tip on how to deal with tickets and things like that,” he laughed.

    Vettori 

    “I got a message from Vettori as well last night. Obviously, it is a special club to join and it’s nice to hear from fellow players who have been there and done that.”

    Speaking about Whether he have enough tickets at his disposal he mentioned that : “I don’t know if I have enough tickets for them all, they are all coming out of the woodwork! All the old coaches and things like that. This is just to thank them for all the sacrifices they have made,” he said.

    Retirement postponed 

    While speaking about his retirement he states that he fix the 2019 world cup match as his deadline for the retirement. His eagerness towards playing and scoring more just postponed his decision of retirement.

    “I always said to myself, 2019 World Cup wasn’t a bad place to start thinking about that ‘R’ word. But I still think I am good enough and have a lot more to offer this team both on and off the field.

    “I am still as hungry as ever to score runs. After my first series, I wouldn’t have been putting much money on myself to be playing 100 Tests, that’s for sure. I am happy with what has happened,” he added.

    “Every team wants to beat us and New Zealand won’t be any different,” Virat Kohli said

    Team India’s visit to Indian High Commission

    Ahead of the first test match against New Zealand Virat Kohli and his team visited the Indian High Commission in Wellington. He spoke about the mutual respect  and admiration between the two countries. He mentioned that “We have reached a stage where every team wants to beat us and New Zealand won’t be any different,”. India is in the top position of the ICC World Test Championship points table and are scheduled to play two test match against New Zealand who holds the sixth position.

    Virat Kohli said “We are very honored to be here invited by the High Commissioner. We want to thank you for that. Of all the tours that we have, coming to the Indian High Commission is a very special evening. Because we get to spend time with a lot of people from India, but we also get to meet a lot of people from a country that we are in.” while addressing the event.

    Kohli’s future plan

    In a press meet earlier in that day Virat Kohli reveals the “future plan about his retirement” and also promise to play at least for three years in all formats.

    “Look it’s not a conversation that is to hide away from in any manner,” Kohli said. “I think it’s been eight or nine years that I have been playing almost 300 days a year with the travelling and practice sessions. And the intensity is right up there all the time. So it does take a toll on you. I am not saying that it’s not something the players are not thinking about.”

    Short break for players

    “We do choose to take a lot more breaks individually even though the schedule might not allow you to,” Kohli said. “You are going to see a lot of that in the future from many players. Not just myself, especially from the guys who are playing all three formats. It’s not that easy. Then being captain and having intensity in practice session and discussing the game, so it does take a toll on you. So I am not in that space at the moment. So periodic breaks for me seems to work pretty okay. At a time when the body doesn’t respond as well, maybe when I am 34-35, you might have a different conversation at that stage. But for the next 2-3 years, I have no issues at all. Can keep going on with the same intensity and I also understand that the team wants a lot of my contribution in the next 2-3 years so that we can ease into another transition phase that we faced some 5-6 years ago. So the mindset is on the larger picture, and from that point, I am preparing myself for a rigorous three years from now. And then after that we might have a different conversation.”

    He also mentioned that at the time of his retirement he wants team India as well as the players to be in their best position.

    The 31 year old Indian skipper Virat Kohli admits that fatigue and workload management are issues that need to be discussed at all forums. And also agreed that periodic breaks have worked well for him. He also states that he want to play all the three formats for three more years after 34 or 35 when his body can’t take anymore “we will have a different conversation”he said.

    “Look it’s not a conversation that is to hide away from in any manner,” Kohli said. “I think it’s been eight or nine years that I have been playing almost 300 days a year with the travelling and practice sessions.

    Short breaks to players

    Indian skipper Virat Kohli so far allowed to take seasonal breaks where he managed to recover from playing continuously.  He was rested for the T20I series against Bangladesh, and then took a break in one of the T20I match in New Zealand series.

    “We do choose to take a lot more breaks individually even though the schedule might not allow you to,” Kohli said. “You are going to see a lot of that in the future from many players. Not just myself, especially from the guys who are playing all three formats. It’s not that easy. Then being captain and having intensity in practice session and discussing the game, so it does take a toll on you. So I am not in that space at the moment.

    World test championship

    India leads in first position with a point of 360 in the World test championship which he feels has “made Test cricket more exciting”. Previously India played seven test matches and won all of them, out of seven five matches were played at home ground. But after the whitewash against New Zealand in ODI series it seems most difficult challenge to play against them. Later this year India face Australia in the test championship match.

    “I think the series in South Africa was pretty interesting, with South Africa winning the first and then England winning the Cape Town won, the way they won in the last hour. I think you will see a lot more results like that because of the points that are on the line,” Kohli said. “I think Test Championship, as an ICC tournament should be right up there. All the other tournaments, for me, start under that. This is going to be the biggest of them all. And every team wants to make it to the final at Lord’s. And we are not any different. We want those points and make sure that we qualify as early as soon as we can and be in that frame of mind to hopefully win that.

    India vs New Zealand upcoming test series

    Virat Kohli was speaking to the media ahead of the two-Test series against New Zealand starting on Friday. He also highlights having three fast bowlers would enough for bowling where Ishant Sharma is expected to be in among those three fast bowlers who return from the Injury after clearing the fitness test.

    Two days out from the Test, the Basin Reserve pitch had plenty of grass on it but India don’t seem to be getting carried away just yet. “If it’s a Johannesburg pitch, it’s a possibility,” Kohli said of playing four pacers. “From the point of view of our team, we have enough skill that even with three fast bowlers we can win matches. But if you have a world-class spinner in the midst, it’s a great advantage. A world-class spinner has the ability to take wickets on any kind of pitch. So we are not looking at the combination of other teams. We will stick to our strengths. We look for putting the most lethal and balanced bowling attack. We have the belief that with this bowling attack we can win the matches against this batting attack. Ours is a different bowling attack compared to the last tour, in terms of the experience. As a group, we haven’t bowled better than this. We haven’t bowled out these many sides in the last 2-3 years. I’m sure they will repeat the same here as well.”

    Indian skipper’s view on Prithvi

    “In white-ball cricket you can try to do too much, but when you come into red-ball cricket you fall into the discipline mould of batting, which obviously suits him much more at this stage. Prithvi is a talented player, so he has his own game and we want him to follow his instincts and play the way he does. Look, these guys have no baggage. These guys are not desperate to perform here in any manner or they don’t have any nerves in wanting to do well overseas because they haven’t done well in the past or something like that. I think with a clear head, as Mayank played in Australia, hopefully Prithvi can do the same in New Zealand and Mayank can carry forward that as well. A bunch of new guys, they play with a lot of fearlessness and something that can motivate the whole team and give us the starts that we want and not be intimidated by the opposition in any manner.”

    2023 World cup

    He also mentioned he understand till the 2023 World Cup his presence and peak performance is crucial after which he understands that the next phase of transition will set in.

    “I can keep going on with the same intensity and also understand that the team wants a lot of my contribution in the next two to three years, so that I can ease into another transition that we faced five-six years ago,” he said referring to the retirements of Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman.
