India will be looking for a win in the Wellington Test match to draw the two match Test series. New Zealand is leading the series with a win in the first Test match in Auckland. Shikar Dhawan, the Indian Opener who slammed century in the first Test match that India lost by 40 runs after getting close to the target said that they have a chance to win and equal the Test series.
"It is a new team with young players having an experience of only five to six matches. Of course, It takes a little time. In the last Test match we fought back really nicely and also batted well in the second innings. There are a lot of positives to take from the last match and it is building our confidence and our strength." Dhawan said on the eve of the match.
