2nd Test India vs New Zealand (Current Partnership), Sports Desk: The second match of the three-Test series between India and New Zealand began today in Pune.

That is why it is important for India to win this test match.
The Indian team will have to win at all costs in the ongoing test match against New Zealand. If India lose the Test match, they will not only fall behind New Zealand 2-0 in the series but their hopes of reaching the World Test Championship will also be reduced. Although India is currently at number one in the WTC points table, it needs to win five of the remaining eight Test matches to reach the final. If India does not win the remaining two Test matches against New Zealand, it will have to win the five-Test series against Australia 5-0, which will be held in Australia. This will be impossible for the Indian team.
