IND vs NZ: أين ستلعب الهند الاختبار الثاني ضد نيوزيلندا؟

After suffering a defeat in Bengaluru, the Indian Test team will look to make a change against New Zealand. For the first time in a long while, someone has challenged India’s invincibility at home. The Carvaan of the three-match series now moves to Pune, where the Indian team is all set to change what happened in the first game. In the series opener, New Zealand came as a surprise package and thoroughly dominated the game, especially with their charge-up bowling in the first inning, which dismissed the Indian batters for just 46 runs.
