BENGALURU :India were bowled out for a paltry 46, their third-lowest test total and their lowest on home soil, as New Zealand's pace bowlers ran amok in overcast conditions on the second day of the rain-hit opening test on Thursday.
Rohit Sharma's dismal run continued as he was dismissed for just 2 on Day 2 of the first Test match against New Zealand in Bengaluru on Thursday. The Indian cricket team captain did not look comfortable on a pitch that provided a lot of support to the fast bowlers and he was ultimately casted by Southee. Rohit was completely beaten by the swing of the delivery and it crashed into the stumps to end Rohit's short stay at the crease. Rohit did not cross the 30-run mark in both Test matches against Bangladesh and his latest disappointing show led to a lot of trolling on social media.
Indian cricket team star batter Virat Kohli equalled an embarrassing record after he was dismissed for a duck on Day 2 of the first Test match against New Zealand in Bengaluru on Thursday. Kohli has been struggling to score big in the recent past and his fortunes did not change as he was dismissed by Will O'Rourke without scoring a single run. It was a short of length delivery from the fast bowler that flew off Kohli's gloves and Glenn Phillips was able to complete a good catch at leg gully. This was Kohli's 38th international duck - the most for any active cricketer along with New Zealand's Tim Southee. India skipper Rohit Sharma is third in the unwanted list with 33 ducks.
India vs New Zealand LIVE, 1st Test, Day 2: Matt Henry has provided New Zealand with their third breakthrough of the day as he dismissed Sarfaraz Khan for 0. Currently, Rishabh Pant and Yashasvi Jaiswal are looking to form a good opening partnership and provide three-down India with some momentum. On the other hand, New Zealand are eyeing some quick wickets, in order to get an upper hand in the game. India skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bat against New Zealand on Day 2 of the first Test in Bengaluru. India have included Sarfaraz Khan and spinner Kuldeep Yadav in their Playing XI. The duo has replaced Shubman Gill and Akash Deep respectively. Gill has been rested, due to a stiff neck. (LIVE SCORECARD)
India vs New Zealand Live Streaming 1st Test Live Telecast: Rohit Sharma-led India look to book their spot in the World Test Championship (WTC) Final as they face New Zealand in the first Test encounter at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru starting Wednesday. A clean sweep for the Indian cricket team in the three-match Test series will more or less guarantee their spot in the WTC Final. India are coming to the series on the back of solid performances in the series against Bangladesh. Both batters and bowlers performed well as the hosts clinched the series 2-0.
Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill, the torchbearers of transition, will have to be India's driving force in their quest to lord over an unsettled New Zealand in a three-Test series, beginning here with the first match here on Wednesday. The baton has not been completely passed, but Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are certainly running their last lap and these two young superstars will have to show that they can carry forward the legacy of the titans.
Tim Southee will captain New Zealand's 15-man squad for their trip to face Afghanistan and Sri Lanka next month but may not play in all three tests with head coach Gary Stead keen to manage workloads in tough conditions.
