Indian cricket team are in a tricky spot in the first Test against New Zealand. After the first Test was washed out due to rain, the second day saw the home team get bundled out for just 46 - its third lowest score in a Test innings - after opting to bat first in overcast conditions. India captain Rohit Sharma admitted that he misread the pitch at the post-Day 2 press conference. Speaking after the second day's play, Rohit reflected on the decision to bat first under overcast conditions, a call that backfired disastrously for the hosts. "We thought it wouldn't help the seamers much after the first session or so. There wasn't much grass either. We expected it to be much flatter than it turned out to be. It was a misjudgment on my part, and I couldn't read the pitch well. I am hurting to see this score of 46 as a captain as it was my call to bat first. But one or two bad calls in a year is quite alright," Rohit admitted.
