Regarding the advantage that top-order batsmen have, considering New Zealand’s decent batting options in the lower order as well, Daryl mentioned, “Everyone has a specific role in the team, which is determined by our approach as ‘Black Caps.’ It’s about adapting and adjusting to various situations and conditions.”
The players expressed their happiness about being able to contribute back to the community. The children from UNICEF spent an hour training with the New Zealand team on the field of play at MA Chidambaram Stadium.
