Team India was reduced to its lowest ever total at home in Tests, registering a paltry score of 46 in the first innings of the 1st Test against New Zealand in Bengaluru.
India captain Rohit Sharma's decision to bat first backfired as the overcast conditions at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium made it increasingly difficult for batters to survive.
The hosts were reduced to 10/3 after Rohit, Virat Kohli and Sarfaraz Khan failed to even survive the first hour of play in the morning session.
Rishabh Pant and Yashasvi Jaiswal stitched the biggest partnership as the two added 31 runs for the fourth wicket. Despite India being in a precarious position, Pant attempted a reverse sweep moments after coming out to bat.
