India faced their first home series defeat in over a decade as New Zealand pulled off another upset in Pune, securing a dominant 2-0 lead. What was expected to be a straightforward series for India to strengthen their World Test Championship ambitions has now become a major setback, with two heavy losses putting those aspirations at risk.
On Day 1, India trailed by 235 runs at Wankhede Stadium in Pune with a score of 86/4.
Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant remained unbeaten at the close of play. India looked steady at 78/1 before a late collapse saw them lose three wickets for just six runs in the final moments of the day.
Ravindra Jadeja took five wickets, and Washington Sundar claimed four, helping to restrict New Zealand to a total of 235 runs.
