IND vs NZ / India is brilliant, we are no less, if the day is ours we will beat anyone - Williamson

IND vs NZ: New Zealand captain Kane Williamson said on Tuesday that being declared an underdog for the World Cup semi-finals will not change anything. This World Cup has been great for India, but I think we have also played good cricket. All the teams playing in the semi-finals are equal. Underdog is a team whose performance is said to be better than expected.

When it's our day we win - Williamson

Williamson further said that if the Indian team is not the best at the moment, then it is definitely one of the best teams in the world. But when it is our day, we also play our best cricket and challenge the team in front. We can do anything on our good days. Can defeat anyone.

Indian team is balanced even without Pandya

Praising the Indian team, Williamson said - India has created a great balance in the playing eleven despite the exclusion of all-rounder Hardik Pandya. Even in the absence of Hardik, the team kept improving and remained invincible.

Everyone knows their role in the team

When asked about the Kiwi team, Williamson said that even when you go to a big tournament, the players should know what they have to do with the ball and bat. All the players in our team know their role.

India was defeated twice in knockout matches under his captaincy.

Williamson captained a total of 36 matches against India including all three formats. Of these, New Zealand won 15 matches, India won 17, 1 was tied, 1 was drawn and 2 were no results. Of these, 2 matches also took place in the knockout round of the ICC tournament. New Zealand won both. In the 2019 ODI World Cup, under Williamson's captaincy, New Zealand defeated India in the semi-finals. At the same time, India also lost in the final of the 2021 World Test Championship.
