New Delhi: After winning first 4 games of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023, Team India today will take on fierce rivals New Zealand, in an epic clash amongst the table toppers. Ahead of this crucial match-up, Indian cricket superstar Virat Kohli expressed his views on facing New Zealand, speaking exclusively to the Star Sports show “Follow the Blues”.

Speaking exclusively to Star Sports show “Follow the Blues”, Indian cricket superstar Virat Kohli shared his views on New Zealand’s challenge, he said, “They are a very professional side and they are also a very structured side. They have a very structured way of playing their cricket but within that structured way they are very consistent and that’s been the reason for their success consistently. They are a very consistent side and credit to the way they have played their cricket.”

Virat further speaking on breaking New Zealand’s rhythm, he said, “Any team that plays against them obviously has to find ways of breaking that rhythm and playing to the best of their abilities, which will eventually decide whether you’re going to cope up with their consistency or not because they are not a team that makes many mistakes and that’s been their strength and at the international level if you don’t make many mistakes, then you have a great chance of winning the game more often  than not. So, that’s as I said full credit to the way they have structured their cricket.”

Virat Kohli on New Zealand’s cricket in the last 6-7 years, he said, “The way they have come up in world cricket in the last 6-7 years, 2015 finalists, 2019 finalists and they have beat us in the ICC Test Championship final as well, so yeah big credit goes to them.”
