    New Delhi

    Calling India a “well-balanced” Test side, the 39-year-old said India are the superior side on paper with a strong batting line-up. 

    “I think India will be too strong for New Zealand. India has got a lot of options in the batting order. It’s a power-packed one, you got Shikhar (Dhawan) putting his hand up after losing his opportunity,” Lee said during a panel discussion on the India-New Zealand series. 

    “They got a serious bowling line-up as well. I think they are a well-balanced side.”

    The cricketer-turned-commentator also congratulated India, who will feature in their 500th Test, when the Kohli-led side takes on the Kiwis in the first match. “It’s a great honour for India to play 500 Test matches. It’s going to be terrific series featuring three Test matches against New Zealand. I feel it’s really going to be an exciting one,” he said. 

    After New Zealand, India have a long Test season at home with England playing five Tests, a Test against Bangladesh and another four against Australia.
