IND vs NZ: Whom did Ravindra call a double threat, why did New Zealand come under pressure even before the series started?

New Delhi. New Zealand faces double threat in India. Without dealing with these dangers, victory is difficult. This is what Rachin Ravindra of New Zealand has to say. The Kiwi all-rounder said that Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja are the biggest threats to his team in the three-match series against India. Ashwin and Jadeja together have taken more than 800 wickets in Tests. Ashwin-Jadeja are currently one of the most experienced bowling pairs in world cricket. The test series is to be played between India and New Zealand from 16 October.

Rachin Ravindra said here on Monday, 'They (Ashwin-Jadeja) bowl well consistently. Has the ability to bowl in one area for a long time. There will be a good fight against them. He can also bat. This makes the conditions more difficult for the rival team. Rachin further said, 'We know how good India is in the quality of its batting and bowling in home conditions. How difficult is it for any team to come here and win? It will be very difficult to do this.

Rachin Ravindra has performed well in India. He performed brilliantly in the ICC ODI World Cup last year. Thanks to this he got a good price in IPL. Rachin was a part of the Chennai Super Kings team in IPL 2024. On the question of Test series from India, he said, 'This is a different format. But playing well in any format gives you confidence that you can perform in this part of the world. I think this (Test cricket) is a completely different challenge and it is something I am really looking forward to.

24-year-old Rachin Ravindra said his team needs to stay focused on their plans rather than worrying about India's approach. He said, 'The kind of cricket they play is very positive. He has improved his game a lot in the last few years even in foreign conditions. As New Zealand players, it is not necessary for us to give too much importance to the attitude of the opponent. We know what a great team they are. I think if we are able to play according to our plan and give our best performance, then hopefully it will result in a win.
