Less than 24 hours left for the famous Border Gavaskar Trophy to begin. The first match will be played in the VCA Stadium, Nagpur. Both the teams are ready to compete against each other in this very important Test series as the result will give us a hint about the two teams who will be facing each other in the final of WTC.
The two batsmen to watch out for in this Test series are definitely Virat Kohli and Steve Smith as both of them have returned back to form and will be trying their best to prove their greatness. While both these batsmen are way ahead of most of the batsmen in International Cricket at present, there is one sector in which NZ bowler Tim Southee is ahead of them.
What’s that?
Steve Smith and Virat Kohli have hit 73 sixes in Test Cricket combined, which is a good number. But do you know that Tim Southee, alone, has hit 76 sixes in Test Cricket! Isn’t that shocking!?
