Swinging conditions have often been the nemesis of Indian batters, especially on overseas tours. However, batting great Sunil Gavaskar believes the current crop of Indian batters have the ability to score heavily in New Zealand, provided the weather is conducive, as the team prepares for an all-format tour starting October 22.
India will play five T20Is in New Zealand from October 22 to November 1, followed by five ODIs from November 4 to 15 and two Tests from November 19 to December 1.
