Team have no control on weather: Arshdeep Singh

CHRISTCHURCH: India's young pace sensation Arshdeep Singh said that the teams can not control the weather and added that he believes there is not much difference between the ODI and T20I formats.

The second ODI of the three-match series between India and New Zealand was called off due to rain. Shikhar Dhawan and Co are ready to take on New Zealand in the third and final match of the three-game ODI series in Christchurch. India is down 1-0 and will aim to save the series on Wednesday in the final ODI.

Following the cancellation of the second ODI in Hamilton, there is a strong possibility that the third and final match of the series will also be cancelled. Heavy rain is predicted in Christchurch on Wednesday, November 30.

"The weather is not in our hands and it is something we cannot control. So it is important that we give our best whenever we get a chance. If there is a break in the game due to rain, we have to always be mentally and physically prepared for the match to start anytime.," Arshdeep Singh said in a pre-match press conference.

Arshdeep and Umran Malik made their ODI debuts in the first ODI against New Zealand at Auckland.

"As a bowler, I have not thought much that there is a lot of difference between these two formats. Just like now I am doing attacking bowling in the starting and defending in the last.... my aim is to take wickets for the team. So I have not yet thought that there will be some difference between these two formats. Wherever I get a chance to perform, I will deliver my best," said the pacer. (ANI)
