Kiwis whose lost practice match against Board President XI will be looking for a comeback and take the revenge against host as India defeat Kiwis last year in limited over format.

He has been well supported by the 27-year-old Chahal, who suffering the Australians with his deceptive leg spinners to bag six wickets in four matches.
