WTC Final: New Zealand have advantage but we are mentally prepared, says Ajinkya Rahane
India TV NewsIndia vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane on Wednesday admitted New Zealand would go into the World Test Championship final with the advantage of having played two Tests in England, but said his teammates are prepared to face the challenge of playing a one-off Test without a competitive game. But as I said this final is all about whoever is going to give their best for the next five days -- in each and every session," said Rahane. A poor start may not give them the chance to come back as it did in Australia where they played four Test matches and could bounce back from 36 all out and the crushing loss in the first Test by winning two of the next three Tests under Rahane. The 33-year-old Rahane said the team management is backing the India youngsters to play fearless cricket and perform with freedom.
