New Zealand's run machine Ross Taylor feels that the suspension of the IPL may be a blessing in disguise for Team India ahead of the World Test Championship Final.
Taylor told reporters that had the IPL went on, India would have had a smaller preparation time but now they will be a lot more conditioned and their bowlers will have their loads up.
The Kiwis are already in UK and will play 2 Tests vs England before the all-important World Test Championship final. Reacting to that, Taylor added that it does give them a slight advantage but this Indian team has been number one for a long period of time and has had a lot of success in England.
