“They will play three spinners or two spinners, definitely Ashwin will be one of them. He is a very good bowler, especially in these conditions, and how we play him will play a big role in how the series goes. ,

He also advised the New Zealand batsmen to be cautious of India’s fast bowling attack. Taylor said, “With the new ball and reverse swing, fast bowling is always important. But here spin often plays a big role so if we assume that only spin will be important then we can be clumsy. ,
