Ahead of New Zealand's first Test against India in Bengaluru, cricketer-turned-commentator Aakash Chopra opined that the Tom Latham-led side isn't "such a good team". "Are New Zealand really a threat? They have been...WTC champion, they defeated us only, but is it really a good team?" he added. Aakash further said the Kiwis' performance in the subcontinent has been "very bad".
