The New Zealand cricket team is feeling the heat as India's impressive comeback in the ongoing test series has left them reeling. In a recent press conference, 23-year-old pacer William O'Rourke expressed his team's concerns, stating that the opposition's gritty performance, particularly from Sarfaraz Khan and Rishabh Pant, has put immense pressure on the Kiwis.
Sarfaraz Khan's outstanding knock of 150 runs and Rishabh Pant's unbeaten 99 have turned the game around, with the duo adding 177 precious runs for the fourth wicket. This remarkable partnership has not only changed the course of the match but also raised hopes of an Indian victory.
O'Rourke praised the Indian batsmen for their impressive display of resilience and skill, saying that their partnership has undoubtedly put the Kiwis on the back foot. 'They batted really well, and we couldn't get the breakthroughs we needed. We thought we had a chance to wrap up the innings quickly, but they played some outstanding cricket,' he added.
However, the young pacer remains cautious about the final day's play, emphasizing that his team still has a lot of work to do to secure a win. 'It's not going to be an easy win from here. We need to focus on getting the remaining wickets as quickly as possible and then bat sensibly to chase the target,' he said.
The Kiwis will have to regroup and reassess their strategy for the final day, taking into consideration the dramatic turn of events. With India's tailenders looking to capitalize on the momentum gained by Khan and Pant, New Zealand will need to be at their best to contain the opposition and emerge victorious.
The thrilling match is all set to enter its final day, with fans eagerly waiting to see how the Kiwis respond to the pressure. Will they be able to hold on to their advantage, or will India's spirited performance turn the tables in their favor? Only time will tell.
