**Bengaluru:** India suffered a humiliating defeat in the first test against New Zealand, recording their lowest ever test score on home soil in Bengaluru. The Indian team was bowled out for a paltry 46 runs on day two of the match, their first innings collapsing in a heap.

This dismal performance eclipses India’s previous lowest score of 75 runs against the West Indies in Delhi in 1987. The match saw a disastrous start for India, with five batsmen failing to score even a single run. Only Rishabh Pant (20) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (13) managed to reach double figures.

This abysmal performance is a stark reminder of the team’s vulnerability against a well-prepared bowling attack. The match was marred by rain, resulting in a delayed start and a lost day. However, this cannot be used as an excuse for such a dismal batting display.

This loss comes as a blow to the team’s confidence, especially after their recent success in international cricket. The team will need to regroup and analyze their performance to bounce back in the remaining two test matches of the series.
