Batting For Long Periods Was Our Only Plan Against The Indian Team, Says NZ Captain Williamson
New Zealand captain Kane Williamson said on Monday that the plan on day five of the first Test was about trying to bat long periods against ‘a very strong' Indian team. He acknowledged the contributions, especially the last-wicket pair of Rachin Ravindra and Ajaz Patel, in delivering a thrilling draw for New Zealand. Ravindra and Patel batted 52 balls to pull off a heist of a draw at the Green Park Stadium.
"I suppose the beauty of Test cricket really, where there can be a lot of excitement in a draw. For us, coming into the day, it was about trying to bat long periods against a very strong side, that too against a formidable Indian attack. It was about trying to take the game as deep as possible and then Ashwin picked up a few wickets, put us under a bit of pressure along the way," said Williamson in the post-match press conference.
