#3 Sustaining pressure on Indian batsmen

New Zealand
Kane Williamson will look for more consistency from hsi bowlers

Kane Williamson has rightly implored his bowlers to sustain pressure. Twice in two innings, New Zealand looked like they had the right bowling attack. But in both cases, they were undone by the lack of bowling consistency needed to could stifle the opposition giving away too many boundary balls. Ish Sodhi was particularly untidy in the second innings and Santner, who bowled better in the second innings, went for more than 4 per over in the first innings.

Given Kohli places a high premium on attacking batsmanship, New Zealand will need to come up with some plan to keep things tight with the ball, instead of dishing out full-tosses and wide deliveries that could be milked for plenty.
