Former India batter Ambati Rayudu feels that Virat Kohli’s form has given added impetus to their already strong batting line-up. Kohli struck a match-winning century against Pakistan and contributed 22 against Bangladesh in their opening match. Shubman Gill has been firing in the top order and struck a century against Bangladesh before playing a knock of 46 against Pakistan. India will take on New Zealand in their final group game on March 2 before gearing up for the semi-final. The second leg of the tournament in Vadodara is going to offer different conditions to Navi Mumbai’s D.Y. Patil Stadium, according to the former batter. He said the English team’s middle order failed to live up to the occasion on the sub-continent conditions. The former batter added that it will be interesting to see how India tackle New Zealand spinners in their next match. The Men in Blue will play the Kiwis in their last Group A match on March 3.
