After facing defeat in the ODI series against New Zealand, now Team India's focus is on the upcoming Test series. Coach Ravi Shastri said, 'Currently, the ODI series has no meaning for us. Right now our focus is on T20 and Test. We just beat New Zealand 5–0 in the T20 series. Now the focus is on the two-match Test series.' Shastri added, "We need 100 points to stay in the race for the final of the World Test Championship at Lord's. We have to play 6 Tests abroad within a year. It has two against New Zealand and 4 against Australia. If we win two matches, then we will be in good condition. Our goal is to play here like the No. 1 team because our team believes in it more than anything else. Currently, Team India is ranked first in the World Test Championship with 360 points. India has won all 7 Tests played so far. "
Coach Shastri is excited about the arrival of young players in the team. He replied to questions related to the opening pair of Shubman Gill and Prithvi Shaw, saying that both are talented. It is not important which of these two will be included in Playing-11 for Wellington Test. The special thing is that both of them are part of the Indian team right now. He also praised Shubman, "He has an extraordinary talent. His positive outlook is evident when he bats. "
On the question related to the opening of Shaw and Shubman, he said that it is all students of the same school, who like to play with the new ball, they enjoy the challenges. Unfortunately, Rohit is injured, due to this, Shubman may get a chance as Mayank Agarwal's second partner. Such competition is necessary for the team and on this basis, a team of 15 players is prepared, which always looks strong.
