The Indian bowling team was not in their best form during the ODI and T20I which definitely affected the team’s overall performance. However, with the longest format coming up, this is just the motivation the team needs to get back on track. Commenting on the chances New Zealand has against India for the upcoming series he said, “We have to be on our game to be successful against them.”

Not only did Ross Taylor mention Jasprit Bumrah, he mentioned Rohit Sharma as well. Sharma had to retire mid-way through the T20I against the Kiwis due to a calf injury. However, it is hopeful that he will bring back the dynamics to the squad upon his return.

“Sharma coming back will bring new dynamics to the team. They have got a world-class batting line-up as well and we have to get through that.”
