IND vs NZ: This bowler has become an incomprehensible puzzle for Kiwi batsmen, has taken 66 wickets in 9 tests.

IND vs NZ: The first match of the three-match Test series between India and New Zealand will be played on October 16 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. The second and third matches of this series will be played in Pune and Mumbai. This tour is not going to be so easy for the New Zealand batsmen. In this series they will have to overcome India's spin bowling. At the same time, the performance of an Indian bowler against New Zealand has been very excellent. In such a situation, this bowler can create problems for them in the Bengaluru Test match.
