New Delhi: A brilliant 2019 done with, 2020 is the year of the World T20. But before that, comes the Kiwi challenge for Team India and under the leadership of skipper Virat Kohli and head coach Ravi Shastri, this team have made its priorities very clear. The longest format of the game is closest to their heart and winning on foreign soil is what they call the real deal. Speaking to IANS, Shastri spoke about Kohli's love for the longest format and the day he realised that this Indian bowling attack would be the best in the world.

What helped Kohli and Shastri realise their dream of being top performers in the longest format is a team of brilliant bowlers led by Jasprit Bumrah and ably assisted by the likes of Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma and Umesh Yadav. The New Zealand series will once again need them to hold fort in conditions known to help fast bowling.
