Former New Zealand cricketer Scott Styris has thrown down the gauntlet for Team India after they registered a 2-1 win over Australia in the recently-concluded ODI series. After losing the first ODI in Sydney, Virat Kohli and his troops hit back strongly to win the next two matches in Adelaide and Melbourne respectively to register their first-ever bilateral ODI series win Down Under. Styris — who played 188 ODIs and 29 Tests for the Kiwis — challenged India to put on a similar performance against New Zealand and his social media post read: “Well done @BCCI ..entree is over time for the main course!! !”Well done @BCCI ..entree is over time for the main course!!! — Scott Styris (@scottbstyris) January 18, 2019The five-match ODI series between the two team begins in Napier on January 23, followed by two consecutive matches in Mount Maunganui.
