Ind vs NZ 1st Test – Team India Training Session: Ahead of the first Test against New Zealand, Team India hit the nets for an intense training session at the Green Park Stadium on Wednesday.
Stand-in skipper Ajinkya Rahane will lead the hosts in the first of the two-match Test series, starting Thursday. Team India’s newly-appointed head coach Rahul Dravid was seen supervising the practice along with Paras Mhambrey and batting coach Vikram Rathour. Skipper Rahane, Ravichandran Ashwin, Cheteswar Pujara, Ravindra Jadeja, Prasidh Krishna were among those attending the training session.
Ind vs NZ 1st Test – Team India Training Session: Earlier, batter KL Rahul was ruled out of the upcoming 2-match Test series against New Zealand. He will now undergo rehabilitation at NCA in preparation for the series against South Africa scheduled next month. The All-India Senior Selection Committee had named Suryakumar Yadav as Rahul’s replacement.

Ind vs NZ 1st Test – Team India Training Session: India will come into the Test series high on confidence after defeating the Kiwis in the three-match T20I series. But the only problem is the lack of form of key middle-order batters Pujara and Rahane. And in Rahul’s absence, they will definitely need to rise to the challenge against a Kiwi outfit that was crowned World Test Champions a couple of months back.
