India take on New Zealand in one of the most crucial Super 12 matches in Group 2 of T20 World Cup 2021 at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday, October 31. Both the teams are heading into the crunch contest on the back of defeats to Pakistan who are running away at the top of the group with 3 wins from as many matches. India captain Virat Kohli looked calm and composed when he was addressing the media on the eve of the big-ticket contest in Dubai. While he was condemning the online abuse of Mohammed Shami in strongly-worded statements, there were a few important statements that the skipper made that gave us a sneak peek of his mindset in the lead up to what is going to be a stiff test of his character. The team that loses on Sunday is likely to find it difficult to progress to the semi-final stage. Quite a few have labeled India vs New Zealand as a virtual quarter-final but Afghanistan’s hammering of Scotland and their spirited performance against Pakistan have added an int...

T20 World Cup: Week-long gap before New Zealand game will help but worried about dew factor, says Virat Kohli

India captain Virat Kohli opened up on the week-long gap between the opening ‘Super 12’ game against Pakistan and the next assignment against New Zealand, saying it will help the team reflect and re-strategise after the 10-wicket drubbing against Babar Azam-led side. India suffered a defeat at the hands of Pakistan in a World Cup for the first time in nearly three decades and the obvious question was whether, as captain, he would have liked a short turnaround or a fairly good break before the game against the Black Caps come Sunday? “I think it works really well for us from all points of view. Knowing that we have played a full-fledged season already, we played the IPL, which is very high octane by itself in testing conditions here in the UAE, and then we come into the World Cup” Kohli said at the post-match press conference.
