At the same time, it is also being said that Kohli said before the first T20 that now we are approaching the situation that we will have to play by landing directly at the stadium. The program has become so busy, but it is not easy to travel in a country with different time zones and get molded immediately. He said that I am sure that in future these things will also be taken into consideration. International cricket is one where continuous play is to be done. Kohli said that the last series against Australia was a one-day series, so we stayed on the field for a long time. He played some T20s before that. If the last three matches were not T20, then it will be easy for us to play here. He said that in New Zealand, cricketers are not beheaded like other countries, so playing here is full of leisure.

This is not the most important aspect of life and neither is given much consideration. It is a part of Kiwi culture and it is a sport only. He however said that but the Kiwi team also descends with the intention of winning every match. Everything is very balanced and it feels good to play here. Kiwi players are very relaxed and professional.
