In India's lung-opener at Nagpur on Tuesday, New Zealand were able to spin a web around the Indians.

On a turning track India failed to chase down the opponents total of 126 and were bowled out for a paltry 79. The New Zealand spinners accounted for nine Indian batsmen with Mitchell Santner picking up 4/11.

Two days later, the likes of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh took guard against the tweakers in the side at the net sessions here. Both batsmen clubbed a few big ones some of which landed in the stands putting unsuspecting fans in danger.

Suresh Raina, Harbhajan Singh, Ravindra Jadeja all rolled their arms over and bowled to the duo for around 30 minutes. Dhoni and Yuvraj took turns to face them.
