As we all know that New Zealand is a strong team, playing against them will not be so easy. Most of New Zealand's cricketers have been playing IPL in India for a long time and therefore have good experience playing on Indian grounds and in Indian conditions. But, we too have been preparing for long. We have completed our training sessions in Mumbai and have practiced very hard for the upcoming series. We are all very excited and look forward to face the challenges ahead. We are completely ready. Just support us. See you all soon.'
