Indian left-arm orthodox spinner Pragyan Ojha is confident of an Indian victory against New Zealand in the first Test match at Hyderabad.

 

Indian spinners did well in the first Test to reel the Kiwi batsmen as India restricted the visitors to a paltry score of 159 runs in the first innings.

 

Ojha along with Ravichandran Ashwin took nine wickets. The spinner particularly relished picking up wickets on his home ground.

 

He said, “It was nice getting those wickets, especially playing on my home ground. I was wishing I could pick a five-wicket haul – that would’ve been really special.

“But I still [have] the second innings and I’m looking forward to doing well.”

 

Ojha feels the ball will spin lot more in the second innings.

He was quoted by BCCI's official website as saying, “There is definitely some bounce in the track. But now, in the second innings, it has started to turn more. Earlier, it was turning from the fourth stump line. Now it is turning from the middle stump.
