After facing difficulties in finding drinking water on the opening day, fans were in for a better experience on the second day of the second Test between India and New Zealand here with the host association making necessary arrangements at the MCA Stadium. Around one lakh litres of RO water in 20-litre cans was arranged for the second day's play on Friday, well distributed among the booths to avoid the lapse on the first day, an official informed PTI.
PARIS : French rugby has had a terrible year off the field, and the sport's national authorities are prepared to improve discipline as Les Bleus prepare for their autumn series, which will culminate next month with a clash against New Zealand.
After an unfulfilling half-century against New Zealand in the Bengaluru Test, Virat Kohli's poor run of form continued in the Pune Test. The star batter arrived on the pitch after the dismissal of Shubman Gill but only lasted for 9 balls. Attempting a bizarre shot, Virat was dismissed for just 1 run by Mitchell Santner. Seeing Kohli depart for another low score in the series, India legend and former coach Anil Kumble pointed a finger at the batter's absence from the domestic circuit, suggesting a stint in the Irani Cup or other such events might have helped him better prepare.
Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal became the youngest Indian to score 1000 Test runs in a single calendar year during the Day 2 of the second Test against New Zealand at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium on Friday. The 22-year-old batter surpassed the previous record held by Dilip Vengsarkar, who reached the 1000-run mark at age 23 in 1979. Currently, Jaiswal is second in the list of highest Test run-scorers in 2024, behind England's Joe Root, who has amassed 1305 runs in 14 matches. Jaiswal's form this year has seen him accumulate 1007 runs in just 10 matches, averaging 59.23 with two centuries and six half-centuries.
:A spectacular seven-wicket haul by Mitchell Santner helped New Zealand dismiss India for 156 before the tourists reached 85-2 at tea on day two of the second test in Pune on Friday to tighten their grip on the three-match series.
Australian skipper Pat Cummins hilariously revealed what excuses he will make if his team loses the highly-anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India, which is starting from November 22 onwards at Perth. Cummins was speaking at The Grade Cricketer podcast. On being reminded that he would not have any excuses if he loses the BGT this time around, his first as a captain, Cummins said hilariously, "I will find some (laughs). Cameron Green was going to open the batting and bowling."
Yet another cheap dismissal for Virat Kohli invited another critical post on social media from former India star Sanjay Manjrekar. Virat arrived in the middle of the Pune pitch, hoping to revive India's hopes with the bat against New Zealand on Day 2 of the second Test. But, after facing 8 balls, the talismanic batter was bowled by Mitchell Santner. With just 1 run scored from 9 balls, Kohli only had himself to blame for a poor shot selection against the Kiwi spinner.
