The Indian spinning pair returned for the team
Third Test Ind vs Nz Day 1 Live (Aaj Samaj), Sports Desk: The third and final Test match of the ongoing three-Test series between India and New Zealand will be played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. In the third Test match, Kiwi team captain Tom Latham won the toss and decided to bat. Meanwhile, the Indian team, which came out to bowl, did not give the visiting team’s batsmen a chance to play freely as the bowling became balanced and the entire team was bowled out after scoring 235 runs.

This series was disappointing for India.
The Indian team’s current series against New Zealand has been disappointing. Before the start of the series, no one had predicted that Team India would perform like this. Before New Zealand, India had easily defeated Bangladesh 2-0 in the two-Test series. In that series, not only the Indian team’s batsmen performed brilliantly but the bowlers also wreaked havoc. In the series against New Zealand, the team’s players are performing well, but the batting turned out to be a failure. So team India has not lost any series after 2012.
