:New Zealand completed an unprecedented 3-0 series sweep in India as the Black Caps dismissed the hosts for 121 on a tricky wicket to secure a 25-run victory on day three of the third and final test in Mumbai on Sunday.
Ravichandran Ashwin was one of India's heroes on Day 2 of the third Test against New Zealand in Wankhede, picking up three wickets as the tourists went 9 down for 171 runs by stumps. Ashwin didn't look at his absolute best until the Mumbai Test but pulled up his socks as India took on the Kiwis in a must-win clash, from the World Test Championship perspective. Of the three wickets that Ashwin bagged on Saturday, the delivery to bamboozle Glenn Phillips was unarguably the most impressive.
Whenever India play a Test match at home, the spin duo of Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin play a crucial role in determining the result thof the match. If they both strike together, more often than not India emerge as the winner. If India go on to win the third India vs New Zealand Test, Jadeja and Ashwin will be credited a lot. In the first innings, Jadeja took five wickets while he has taken four in the second essay. Ashwin has so far taken three wickets in the second innings.
Senior off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin admitted that a chase of around 150 won't be very easy for the Indian batters on a not-so typical Wankhede turner, where the track is behaving differently at two ends. New Zealand ended the second day at 171 for 9 in their second innings with an overall lead of 143 which many like former India captain and head coach Anil Kumble believes is a challenging target if one factors in the track.
:Shubman Gill missed out on a century while Rishabh Pant scored a quick-fire 60 as India made 263 in response to New Zealand's 235 before their spinners reduced the tourists to 171-9 at stumps on day two of the low-scoring third test in Mumbai on Saturday.
Not only did Ravichandran Ashwin return to form with the ball, he also set the fielding standards on Day 2 of the third Test between India and New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. With Daryl Mitchell and Will Young stitching up a 50-run partnership, a moment of magic was needed to break it. That moment of magic was provided by Ashwin. Not reputed for being lightning quick in the outfield, Ashwin completed a tremendous catch, running back from mid-on.
Indian cricket team star batter Virat Kohli was seen dancing to a popular Bollywood song 'My name is Lakhan' during Day 1 of the third Test match against New Zealand in Mumbai on Friday. In a video that has gone viral on social media, fans could be seen singing the song loudly from the stands. The camera then turned towards Kohli who could also be seen doing the hook step on the ground. This is not the first time that Kohli was caught on camera dancing on the field as he is well known for his funny antics.
