Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Kanpur : India won the toss and opted to bat against New Zealand in the first Test of the two-match series here at the Green Park Stadium on Thursday.

In the first Test, Ajinkya Rahane will be leading the side in regular skipper Virat Kohli’s absence and with Rahul now missing, it will be all about Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara rising to the challenge in the middle-order.
Speaking at the toss, Rahane said, “Looking to bat first. Pitch looks really good. Generally slows down later on here. Shreyas is making his debut. We are all excited to play under the new coaching staff. I personally enjoy playing under Rahul bhai. New Zealand are a quality side. 3 spinners, 2 seamers.”

For India, Shreyas Iyer has made his Test debut and will be looking to make a mark in the first game of longer format.

The right-handed batter received his maiden Test cap from the legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar.
