IND vs NZ ODI: The Indian team on New Zealand tour has faced rain in most of the matches. The second ODI match played on 27 November also came in the grip of rain and was cancelled. Earlier in the T20 series too, rain had created difficulties. After the cancellation of the second match, New Zealand coach Gary Stead reacted to the roofed stadium. He said that this game should be played in sunlight as far as possible.
Talking about the roofed stadium after the match, Gary Stead said, “It is very difficult for us to have this happen here in New Zealand. We don’t have grounds for this. I think if there is a way then it should be considered.
Talking further, he said, “I believe this is something that everyone would definitely like to try. Cricket is an outdoor game and should be played in the sun as much as possible.

Rain also created hurdles in the T20 series played before the ODI series. The first match was abandoned without the ball being bowled. After this, there was rain in the third match as well, after which the decision was taken due to the Duckworth-Lewis rule. However, by winning the second match, the Indian team won the T20 series.
Rain was a problem in the World Cup
It is worth noting that earlier in the T20 World Cup played in Australia, rain had also emerged as a problem. A total of four matches of the World Cup were canceled due to rain. At the same time, three matches were decided by Duckworth-Lewis rule. Now it has to be seen whether the ICC or any other board thinks about indoor or terraced stadiums or not.
