New Zealand pace spearhead Trent Boult bowled an absolute peach of a delivery to get rid of Mayank Agarwal in India’s second innings. India are currently taking on New Zealand in the second game of the two-match Test series.

The hosts have already won the first game by a hefty margin of 10 wickets. Prior to the Test series, India and New Zealand faced each other in a five-match T20 series and a three-match ODI series.

Both the teams had contrasting fortunes as India clean swept the Kiwis in the T20Is and New Zealand clean swept the Men in Blue in the ODIs.

In this very game, India lost the toss and were invited to bat first by the hosts. Like the first game if the series, the Men in Blue showed a dismal display of batting and were bundled up for 242 runs in their first innings.

However, the Indian bowlers were right on the money when the proceedings began on Day 2 and left no room for error as the Kiwis could only manage 235 runs in their first innings.

Trent Boult Leaves Mayank Agarwal Clueless With His Inswinger:

As India came on to bat in their second innings, the Kiwi pacers were hitting the deck hard and came up with some beautiful swinging deliveries.

Boult delivered a brilliant inswinger that left opener Agarwal clueless at Christchurch’s Hagley Oval.

As seen in the video, Agarwal had no answer to this ball and he departed once again on a low score that put India in all sorts of bother. Having been one of India’s most solid batsmen in the first Test, Agarwal had a poor display with the bat in the second game.

In the first innings of the second Test match, Agarwal was dismissed in the same manner by Boult himself. His dismissal in the second innings was a carbon copy of the first.

India seemed in trouble after having bowled so well as they have lost three crucial wickets early on in their second innings. Captain Kohli’s poor run of form continued as he was struck plumb in front of the wickets by Colin de Grandhomme.
