NEW DELHI: Veteran Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin expressed concerns about the team's ability to chase approximately 150 runs on the unusual Wankhede pitch, which exhibits varying behaviour from both ends.
The New Zealand side concluded day two with a score of 171 for 9 in their second innings, establishing an overall advantage of 143 runs. Former Indian captain and coach Anil Kumble, among others, considers this target significant, particularly considering the pitch conditions.
