New Zealand spinner Mitchell Santner feels assessing the conditions in Dharamsala and countering an in-form Rohit Sharma will be vital as they eye the “tough” task of beating India on Sunday.

They will now fly to Dharamsala for the much-anticipated game against India. “We know they’re going to obviously be a challenge at home. They look pretty tough to beat. We’ll have to do our assessment in Dharamsala—see what the wicket’s going to do. “There has been a little pace and bounce. But whether that is the case when we play them, we’ll see,” Santner said.

Rohit has looked in imperious form, playing brilliant knocks of 86 against Pakistan and 131 against Afghanistan. “I think power play with the ball is going to be very important. The way Rohit’s kind of getting them off to a flyer. And so, I think we have to do similar stuff to what we’re doing.
