Struggling New Zealand captain Ross Taylor on Thursday urged his batsmen to present a brave front and taking an aggressive approach to counter Indian spin duo Pragyan Ojha and Ravichandran Ashwin at first second test on Friday.
"We need to talk with us on combating Ojha and Ashwin. We have to be brave and bold enough to attack them. Then there would be too many people around his bat with luck," he told reporters.
Taylor said his team not to look far back in which they lost four games to test five years but want to look to the future, focusing session by session.
In response to a question, Taylor said he was working hard to get back among runs and the time was not far off.
"Two is 100 in the last 30 innings is not great, but I feel that I am far from making careers. Sometimes you score two centuries in 30 innings and two in a couple of tickets," he said.
Taylor said he would not be swayed by the appearance of greenish pitch at Chinnaswamy wicket and expressed doubt that the groundsmen even shave the grass before the game starts Friday.
Taylor said he would align same team that played in Hyderabad and would be an opportunity for players to demonstrate the ability of the team.
