Thu Oct 17 08:00:22 UTC 2024: ## India Collapses to Record Low Total in Bengaluru Test
**Bengaluru, India (October 17, 2024):** A disastrous second day of the first Test between India and New Zealand saw the hosts crumble to their lowest ever total at home, bowled out for a paltry 46 runs at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
Matt Henry led the New Zealand bowling attack, claiming a five-wicket haul and dismantling the Indian batting order. The Kiwis exploited the conditions perfectly, with Henry and William O’Rourke creating a relentless pressure on the Indian batsmen.
India’s innings was a tale of woe from the start. Yashasvi Jaiswal, who looked settled at the crease, fell for 13, followed by a series of quick wickets, including a duck for Virat Kohli.
Rishabh Pant, the only Indian batsman to show any resistance, was eventually dismissed for 12.
The devastating collapse saw India lose their last eight wickets for just 19 runs, a dismal performance that left their fans shell-shocked.
New Zealand, with a commanding lead, will now look to build on this impressive display and secure a crucial victory in the first Test.
