Team India caught in their own net, this player performed such a miracle for the first time
Pune launch between India and New Zealand: Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, the Indian cricket team is again trapped in the second test against New Zealand. On the pitch where New Zealand had scored more than 250 runs, Team India was limited to just about 150 runs. Now New Zealand has a good lead and if they bat well in the second innings too, then the Indian team is in danger of losing. The Indian team is already on the defensive after losing the first match of the series, now if the second match is also in danger the tension will increase even more. Not only that, it seems that the Indian team has been caught in its own web.
the first game was lost
The first match of the India vs New Zealand series was played in Bengaluru. There was a lot of bounce on that field the first day. Due to this, the Indian batsmen were badly trapped. India were reduced to just 46 runs in the first innings. However, India batted well in the second innings. Sarfaraz Khan scored 150 and Rishabh Pant scored 99 runs, but they were not enough to win. Team India had fallen so far behind in the first innings that it was difficult to come back from there. That’s why he lost that game.
New Zealand played well on a spin-friendly pitch
Meanwhile, if we talk about this match, taking lessons from the first match, a friendly toss was held in Pune, so that the Indian bowlers could do their job. The bowlers, especially Washington Sundar and Ravichandran Ashwin, also did their job. But even after this, the New Zealand team managed to score a great goal. The Indian batsman was also expected to do something similar but it couldn’t happen. Rohit Sharma was out and Virat Kohli could only score one run. That is to say, if you look at it as a whole, the trap that India had laid to trap New Zealand, she herself got caught in it and now it is the task of saving the match.
Mitchell Santner took five wickets in Test for the first time
Meanwhile, in the same match, two bowlers took five wickets in an innings. First this work was done by Washington Sundar of India and then Mitchell Santner of New Zealand also did something similar. The special thing is that both players have achieved this feat for the first time. Mitchell Santner has done it for the second time in first-class cricket. Santner took more than 5 wickets in a first-class match in the year 2022. He has done so for the first time in international cricket. That is to say, in general it is clear that the team that plays better here will win. The Indian team is still behind in the match but has time to come back, it remains to be seen how the team performs in the upcoming matches.
