Watch: Pune Crowd Chants "Virat Kohli Ko Bowling Do" During 2nd Test Against New Zealand

The crowd at the MCA Stadium in Pune urged Indian cricket team skipper Rohit Sharma to make Virat Kohli bowl on Day 1 of the second Test match against New Zealand on Thursday. It was a good show from the Indian bowlers to mount a comeback just before tea but there was a period of time when they struggled against Devon Conway and then against Rachin Ravindra. During the 46th over, the crowd was heard chanting "Kohli ko bowling do (Give the bowling to Kohli)". It was a day filled with chants from the crowd as at one point, "RCB RCB" chants were also heard when Virat was fielding at the boundary.

Fans were continuously shouting ‘Kohli ko bowling do' chants

Half-centuries from Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra did their damage, however, timely scalps from spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Washington Sundar pulled back momentum to the hosts at tea.

At the end of the second session, NZ was 201/5, with Daryl Mitchell (16*) unbeaten.

NZ started the second session at 92/2, with Conway (47*) and Rachin Ravindra (5*) unbeaten.

Conway attacked Jasprit Bumrah in the very first over of the session, getting three fours. He reached his second half-century of the series in 109 balls, with six fours.

NZ reached the 100-run mark in 31.4 overs through one of Conway's classy boundaries.

Conway continued to see off the Indian bowling with confidence and a brilliant temperament, giving Rachin enough time to settle. However, their 62-run partnership was ended with Ravichandran Ashwin getting Conway for 76 in 141 balls, with 11 fours. NZ was 138/3 in 43.2 overs.

Daryl Mitchell joined Rachin on the crease. NZ reached the 150-run mark in 48.1 overs, thanks to a massive six over long-on by
