India’s tour of New Zealand 2014, a tour that has kept so many undisclosed memories beneath, but only a moment to come forward. A tour that not only shaped India’s Test legacy but also gave India the ‘Virat Kohli’ it needed. But this was not the same case everywhere. Virat Kohli was groomed under the former Indian skipper MS Dhoni. But he began his quest to glory from an absolute scratch, even though he was not at his best when it came to Test batting in the SENA countries during his early days.

Vidarbha’s 21-year-old who Smashed a Double Century on Duleep Trophy Debut Although MS Dhoni doesn’t have any centuries in overseas countries, he was ideally a better batter than Kohli, as revealed by the former Kiwi pacer Neil Wagner. He recalled an incident involving Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni, where he explained how he was able to trouble Kohli more easily than MS Dhoni during the 2014 Auckland Test match. In a conversation with the Red Inker Cricket Podcast, Wagner said: “This Test match, I remember the wicket being quite flat, but there was a bit of pace and bounce. Eden Park is quite small on the straight, but the square boundaries there are pockets that are helpful. I remember bowling a couple of bouncers and how they played it, and particularly [Virat] Kohli looked a bit unsettled. He didn't know if he should take it on or not and how to play.” The 39-year-old revealed that Dhoni looked more comfortable playing his short-pitched deliveries than Virat Kohli. However, he tricked MS Dhoni with a surprise slower length delivery to take his wicket. Wagner further added: "Then Dhoni and Jadeja looked like they were going to chase it down and play a phenomenal innings. Dhoni didn't look like it was bothering him too much. It was all about taking the positive and aggressive option for us and not being fearful at all. I was like I am going to bowl a slower ball bouncer to Dhoni. I did it and he chopped it on, and I was amazed by it. The confidence that I got from that and backing your gut feeling.” Indian lost the 2014 Auckland Test match by 40 runs. Neil Wagner claimed 4 wickets in the fourth innings. It is worth mentioning that Wagner retired from international cricket a while ago, ending his glorious Test career, where he played 64 Test matches for the Kiwis, claiming 260 wickets.
