The first day of the second India vs new Zealand Test was quite eventful for the home team. After a loss in the first Test, India must win this match to keep their awesome run going on.
India made three changes to their line-up with Washington Sundar, Shubman Gill and Akash Deep coming in. Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar's verdict was interesting. "I don't see a lot of teams making three changes unless there are injury concerns.
Washington Sundar inclusion which actually tells you they are worried about their batting," he said. More than his bowling, they need his batting down the order as the cushion." But Washington Sundar repaid the faith of the Indian selectors and returned with a seven-wicket haul in Pune as New Zealand were all out for 259.
Later, during the 19th over of the New Zealand innings, Gavaskar made an interesting comment. While some social media users said it was aimed at Rohit Sharma, it was not so.
