**Bengaluru, India:** The first Test match between India and New Zealand began with a damp squib on Day 1 due to unfavorable weather. However, Day 2 saw a dramatic shift in the match’s momentum. Indian captain Rohit Sharma, who elected to bat first after winning the toss, faced a disastrous start as his team lost three crucial wickets early on.
Rohit Sharma himself was dismissed by Tim Southee for a meager 2 runs, caught off a mistimed shot that rattled the leg stump. Following closely behind was Virat Kohli, who was out for a duck after a short delivery from William O’Rourke caught his glove and was expertly taken by Glenn Philips.
Adding to India’s woes was the dismissal of Sarfaraz Khan, who was caught by Devon Conway in a spectacular one-handed catch, giving Matt Henry his first wicket.
This devastating start has left the Indian team reeling in Bengaluru, raising concerns about their ability to recover and put up a competitive fight in the match.
