India vs New Zealand Test series started on a full note. In the first Test match at Bengaluru, which everybody thought India had the upper hand in, it turned out to be the total opposite as New Zealand pushed the Indian team to the wall with their well-prepared plan. First, their bowling in the first innings cleaned up India for just 46 runs, which is India’s lowest total at home. Then Tom Latham’s Kiwis enjoyed the party with the bat, thanks to Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra, who took the game far away from India. But the WTC table toppers didn’t give up easily, especially in the second innings, which needs no introduction, particularly the 150 runs by Sarfaraz Khan and also Rishabh Pant, who came back after getting hit on his knee but still played a 99-run innings. However, as both batters got out, dark clouds covered both the Bengaluru ground and India’s batting, as the middle order collapsed in the same way as in the first innings, resulting in India being bundled out for 462 runs. But that big score didn’t help the team much, as the lead was stretched out to just 106 runs, which the Kiwis chased down on the fifth day. So now, what’s next? What does the schedule say? See when and where India is going to play their next Test match against New Zealand, which they will look to win. For now, this three-match Test series stands at 1-0 in favor of New Zealand.
