India vs New Zealand Live Score: New Zealand will begin their pursuit of 107 runs to win the first Test against India knowing that rain might have the final say in the outcome of the result. After heavy downpour forced early stumps on Day 4, the weather forecast suggests that rain is likely to return on the final day of the match.
The fourth day of the ongoing 1st Test between India and New Zealand came to a pre-mature conclusion after bad light initially stopped play, before heavy rain led to early stumps in Bengaluru. Just four balls after New Zealand began their pursuit of 107, the on-field umpires took the reading on the light meter and went off the field, with dark clouds hovering over the stadium. The Indian players expressed their disappointment over the same. However, rain arrived and became heavy to bring an early end to the day's play.
India vs New Zealand LIVE Score, 1st Test, Day 3: Rohit Sharma-led India cricket team would hope for a better outing on the third day of the first Test against New Zealand in Bengaluru. India got out for a mere 46 - their third-lowest total in Test history - before conceding a sizeable lead.
New Zealand were 180 for three in their first innings in reply to India's 46 all out on the second day of the rain-hit opening Test here on Thursday. India crashed to their lowest-ever total in a Test at home, folding in just 31.2 overs with five home batters not even managing to open their accounts. Rishabh Pant scored 20 while opener Yashasvi Jaiswal made 13. None of the other Indian batters got a double-digit score. New Zealand, in complete contrast, batted solidly to gain a lead of 134 runs by the end of the day's play.
India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has given a rather unique take on Chennai Super Kings' (CSK) retention scenario, boldly suggesting that he would not retain Mahendra Singh Dhoni as an uncapped player ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 mega auction. Instead, Ashwin has proposed a different name as an uncapped retention for CSK, opting to retain Dhoni as a capped player and one of the five primary retentions. Ashwin gave his perspective while discussing the retentions on his YouTube channel.
When Babar Azam was not picked for Pakistan's second Test against England, Fakhar Zaman commented that had it been Virat Kohli, he would not have been droped despite going through a lean patch. Babar's last 50+ score in the Test format came back in December 2022, and in his last 17 Test innings, he averages just 20.70. In his last eight innings on home soil, where runs have flowed for others, Babar has averaged just 18.75.
Veteran Indian spin bowling allrounder Ravichandran Ashwin reenvisioned the beauty of Test cricket, calling it a pinnacle of the sport, in a video released by the BCCI on their official social media handle. The video gave glimpses of the team India's practice session in Bengaluru ahead of first Test against New Zealand, with a voice-over by Ashwin. The spinner said that in Test cricket, everyday players need to adapt to conditions and also come up with new strategies and approaches.
With the Indian Premier League (IPL) mega auction approaching, India captain Rohit Sharma's future at Mumbai Indians (MI) remains up in the air. Rohit was removed as captain by MI last season, with the franchise handing over the leadership duties to Hardik Pandya, who was traded from Gujarat Titans (GT). All 10 IPL teams can retain up to six players ahead of the auction. However, there is no clarity whether MI will retain Rohit, or will the six-time IPL winner enter the auction for the first time in 13 years.
