India will take on New Zealand in the must-win second Test match at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch on Saturday. The Virat Kohli-led side suffered a 10-wicket loss to New Zealand in the first Test and have no choice but to win the second Test at Christchurch to level the two-match series. India’s job will not be easy as the Hagley Oval in Christchurch is the hosts’ most happy-hunting ground at home. They have played 6 Tests, won 4 of them and lost only once while one game ended in a draw. Their win percentage of 66.67 is the best among all home venues for them.
To add to India’s woes, their premier fast bowler Ishant Sharma, who claimed a five-wicket haul in the first Test, is likely to miss the all-important 2nd Test match due to an ankle injury. He is likely to be replaced by either Umesh Yadav or Navdeep Saini
