Indian team must win to reach WTC final
2nd Test Ind vs Nz Live (Aaj Samaj), Sports Table: The second Test match of the three-Test series between India and New Zealand will be played in Pune. Currently, Team New Zealand has a 1-0 lead in the three-Test series. Yesterday, in the second Test match, New Zealand captain Tall Latham won the toss and decided to bat first, but the Indian bowlers bowled brilliantly and restricted New Zealand to just 259 runs. The bowlers took all of India’s wickets.
Washington Sundar played excellently
While bowling for India, bowler Washington Sundar bowled brilliantly and took 7 wickets giving just 59 runs in 23.1 overs while Ravichandran Ashwin dismissed 3 bowlers who gave 54 runs in 24 overs.
Indian team’s disappointing start again
On the other hand, the start of the Indian team was once again disappointing. Team captain and opener Rohit Sharma was left out without opening the account. Today, when the second day’s play begins, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill will lead the innings. Today’s match will be very important for the Indian team. If the team wants to come back from this match and series, they will have to score at least 400 runs. Pune’s wicket is helping the bowlers. In such a situation, the Indian team will have to keep in mind that they will have to come out to bat in the fourth innings and it will not be easy to bat on this pitch on the fourth and fifth day.
This is the Indian team.
Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (goalkeeper), Sarfaraz Khan, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Ravichandran Ashwin, Akash Deep, Jasprit Bumrah.
This is the New Zealand team
