The Indian cricket team had a terrible start to their very important three-match Test series against New Zealand at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. After Day 1 of the first Test washed out, the toss was possible on Day 2 in Bengaluru.
Indian captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bat first at the green deck of the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. However, the call badly backfired, and the New Zealand cricket team would have been really happy to lose the toss, as their bowlers were on a roll on Day 2 of the first Test in Bengaluru.
Fans stunned by India's historic collapse against New Zealand in the Bengaluru Test
Team India’s batting collapse started with the captain Rohit Sharma’s wicket for 2 runs off 16 balls, and it was Tim Southee who handed the Kiwis the early breakthrough in the opening Test of the ongoing three-match Test series against India at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
Almost half of the Indian batting line-up was unable to open the account, dismissing for ducks including the big names like Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Sarfaraz Khan, Ravindra Jadeja, and Ravichandran Ashwin, against New Zealand in the ongoing first Test in Bengaluru.
New Zealand spinner Matt Hanry and pacer William O’Rourke were on fire with the ball, shattering Team India’s batting line-up in pieces to expose their weakness on their conditions.
Matt Hanry and William O’Rourke shared the nine wickets as India bundled out for a paltry 46 runs in their first innings in the first Test against New Zealand at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. It was India's lowest total in home Tests.
Here's how fans react to Team India's flop show in Bengaluru:
Meanwhile, Matt Henry's impressive figures of 5 wickets for just 15 runs were the most economical five-wicket haul recorded by a New Zealand bowler in Test history. A rare achievement was also achieved in the ongoing Bengaluru Test, as it’s only the second time that visiting fast bowlers have claimed all 10 wickets in a Test innings against India.
New Zealand takes all 10 wickets in India for the first time since 2012
New Zealand had taken all 10 wickets during a Test match in Bengaluru in 2012. Well, Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal and wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant managed to score few runs against the touring side in Bengaluru, where they made 13 runs and 20 runs, respectively.
On the other hand, Rohit Sharma (2), Kuldeep Yadav (2), Jasprit Bumrah (1), and Mohammed Siraj (4*) save themselves from embarrassment by opening their accounts in the ongoing first Test against New Zealand at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
For the Kiwis, Tim Southee cleaned bowled the Indian captain, while Matt Henry finished with a record five-wicket haul and William O’Rourke scalped four crucial wickets against India in Bengaluru. New Zealand bowlers gave them big hope to win their first Test in India for the first time since their last triumph back in 1988 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
