On the second day of the first Test match against New Zealand, India won the toss and decided to bat first, which turned out to be wrong.
The Indian batting line-up consisting of renowned players proved to be a wall of sand in front of the Kiwi bowlers. Apart from Rishabh Pant (20) and Yashvi Jaiswal (13), none of the players could enter into double figures.
Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Sarfraz Khan, Ravindra Jadeja, and Ravichandran Ashwin returned to the pavilion without opening an account.
Captain Rohit Sharma 2, Kuldeep Yadav 2, and Jasprit Bumrah got out with one run while Mohammad Siraj remained not out with 4 runs.
Matt Henry took 5 wickets, William O’Rourke 4 and Tim Southee took 1 wicket for New Zealand.
This is the third-lowest score of the Indian team in the history of Test cricket. Earlier against Australia in 2020, the Indian team scored the lowest score of 36 runs in the history of Test cricket.
The Indian team was all out for 42 runs against England in 1974.
It should be noted that due to rain, the first day’s game was canceled without a toss.
