Day 2 is all set to bring some action after a balanced outing on day 1 for both India and New Zealand. The Kiwi batters, Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra, showcased their batting prowess in Pune. However, when India made a comeback, Washington Sundar rose to the occasion with his tactical bowling. The typical Pune pitch, known for assisting batters in the first innings, provided excellent support in the early overs of this second Test between India and New Zealand. But slowly and gradually, the pitch turned, and the spinners did their job well. Ravichandran Ashwin took a few wickets initially, and when Sundar came in, his spin deliveries made things difficult for the Kiwi batters. As a result, New Zealand were bundled out for 259.
So, how will day 2 go for the Indian batters? See what time day 2 starts and where you can enjoy the match!
