New Zealand is a frontier which most teams have not conquered: Sanjay Bangar

Former assistant coach Sanjay Bangar has identified New Zealand as a particularly difficult destination for touring cricket squads, noting that the conditions often negate the effectiveness of spin bowlers. He emphasized that India's success in the upcoming two-Test series will hinge on the performance of their pace attack and the ability of the batting lineup to establish a strong foundation in the opening innings.

Bangar also highlighted the importance of managing the workload of key bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah to ensure India remains in contention for the World Test Championship final. The veteran coach shared these insights during the reopening of a training facility in Mumbai.
