: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.
New Zealand batter Daryl Mitchell on Friday said the third Test against India was "evenly poised" despite the hosts' collapsed, handing the advantage to the Kiwis after the opening day's play of the final match of the series here. India did well to keep New Zealand to 235 after the visitors won the toss with Mitchell top-scoring with 82, but the hosts lost wickets in heap towards the end to be placed at a precarious position of 86 for four, trailing by another 149 runs.
Indian fielder Sarfaraz Khan was on Friday warned by the umpires in the presence of skipper Rohit Sharma for chirping even when the ball was in play, during New Zealand's first innings in the third and final Test of the 2024 series at the Wankhede Stadium. Umpire Richard Illingworth called up Sarfaraz and Rohit and the three had a long animated discussion before the 32nd over of the innings. The umpires were apparently unhappy as Sarfaraz, fielding close to the bat, was engaging in verbals even when the ball became alive.
India's all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja put on a remarkable display of skill and resilience on Day 1 of the Mumbai Test, helping India dismiss New Zealand for 235 runs. Jadeja's performance included his 14th five-wicket haul in Test cricket, an achievement that garnered high praise from former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar. Once labeling Jadeja as ‘bits-and-pieces' player—Manjrekar took to X to express his admiration. “Over the moon for my favourite cricketer, Jadeja. A fifer! He needed that! And so did the team."
:New Zealand's Daryl Mitchell and Will Young made half-centuries in energy-sapping conditions but the tourists were restricted to 235 by Ravindra Jadeja's five-wicket haul before India slumped to 86-4 on the first day of the third test in Mumbai on Friday.
Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma had to intervene after Sarfaraz Khan's antics riled up New Zealand batter Daryl Mitchell on Day 1 of the third Test match in Mumbai on Friday. During the 32nd over of the New Zealand innings, Mitchell expressed his frustration at Sarfaraz constantly talking from the silly point position and the umpire decided to call the fielder for a conversation. Rohit was quick to step in as he made his point to the umpires and the situation was resolved for the moment.
