:India collapsed to a humiliating series defeat at home, their first for 12 years, when they were bowled out for 245 by New Zealand in their chase of 359 on the third day of the second test on Saturday as Mitchell Santner took six wickets.
Fans sympathised with star India batter Virat Kohli after his 'unfortunate' dismissal on Day 3 of the 2nd Test against New Zealand in Pune. With a mammoth target of 359 in front of them, India needed Kohli to stand tall with the likes of Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal already back in the hut. While Kohli did get a decent start, he was undone by a beautiful delivery from Mitchell Santer, who got it to zip quickly off the surface. The ball hit him straight in front of the leg stump and umpire Richard Illingworth raised his finger.
YOKOHAMA : New Zealand ran in 10 tries to kick off their end-of-season tour with a convincing 64-19 victory over a lively Japan side in an entertaining test at Yokohama's International Stadium on Saturday.

India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant was run out on duck after a mix-up with Virat Kohli on Day 3 of the ongoing second Test against New Zealand on Saturday. The incident happened in the 23rd over with India chasing a mammoth 359 target to level the series. Ajaz Patel bowled a good length ball to Kohli, who guided it towards short third man. Kohli looked at Pant, who was at non-striker's end, hoping to steal a single. Both trusted each other and went for the run. However, Mitchell Santner fired a throw towards the keeper's end and Tom Blundell did the rest. Pant seemed to be struggling despite making a desperate dive to get inside the crease.

India captain Rohit Sharma has come under fierce criticism over his captaincy in the ongoing three-match Test series against New Zealand. In the ongoing second Test in Pune, several former cricketers questioned Rohit over his tactics, especially the field placements, as New Zealand scored quick runs to increase their lead over 300 runs on Day 2. Rohit was on the receiving end of some heavy criticism on Day 3 after he dropped an easy catch in the morning session.
The Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team are in a dire strait in the Test series against New Zealand. After having lost the first Test in Bengaluru, the second Test Test in Pune too hasn't brought any good news for the hosts. New Zealand have taken a huge lead in the third innings and saving the match will be quite a task for India. In the midst of this former India captain Sunil Gavaskar has aksed all to focus on the current series rather than on the India vs Australia Test series that starts on November 22.
