Thiruvananthapuram, 31/1: Sanju Samson would expect passionate home support to lift his game even as India fret over Axar Patel’s fitness when they wind up their T20 World Cup preparations in the fifth and final T20 International against New Zealand here on Saturday.
India were in experimental mode in the fourth T20I at Visakhapatnam, sticking to five front-line bowlers without resorting to all-rounders Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube. The plan didn’t yield the desired result as the hosts lost even though the result does not alter the series result.
