Irfan Pathan Names The One New Zealand Player Who Can Challenge Team India In Test Series
Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan believes New Zealand captain Kane Williamson is a prime challenger against the Indian team. He added that apart from Williamson, the pitch at Wankhede Stadium, which will host the second Test, may pose another challenge for the hosts. New Zealand begin their defence of the World Test Championship title in the first of the two Tests against India in Kanpur on Thursday.
Williamson has scored only 461 runs in 13 innings in India at an average of 35.46, including a century and three half-centuries. "If we talk about the two-test series, if there is anyone who can challenge Team India then it is Kane Williamson, the man himself, because he's a fantastic cricketer. Especially when it comes to test cricket," said Pathan on the 'Follow the Blues' show on Star Sports.
