India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni has cautioned his teammates from taking New Zealand lightly and said the visiting team's pacers would look to exploit the overcast conditions during the second Test match, starting here on Friday.
"New Zealand is a good bowling side and will come up with good bowling plan by exploiting the overcast conditions at Chinnaswamy stadium. The first spell will be really crucial for both sides," Dhoni told reporters here.
"Indian batsmen have to negotiate their pace and they have to get as many wickets as possible," he added.
Kiwi pacers had managed to pick up wickets even on the Hyderabad track, which did not assist the fast bowlers much. Dhoni informed that he has requested the groundsmen here to make a turning track, but said that the batsmen will have to play on whatever pitch is given to them.
"The subcontinental speciality should be spin and I think we should stick to it," he said.
