To Build Momentum While Facing Seam Bowling Attack:
It would be interesting to watch Shikhar Dhawan taking on Mitchell McClenaghan, who had been part of Mumbai Indians and Ajinkya Rahane facing off Trent Boult before Virat Kohli would try to give his best against Tim Southee, who was also the part of Mumbai Indians.
Interestingly, Adam Milne was the part of IPL franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore. So, expect Virat Kohli and Kedhar Jadhav to be aware of his tactics as Indian batsmen has certainly an edge after facing New Zealand’s pace bowlers in the IPL.
The point is facing the top quality seam bowling attack of Kiwis would help India to prepare well for a blockbuster game against Pakistan as their bowling line-up has pulled off some remarkable performances, unlike their batting which has been dismal to some extent.
