**Bengaluru, India:** India suffered a humiliating defeat in the first Test match of the series against New Zealand in Bengaluru on October 17th, 2024. The team was bowled out for a paltry 46 runs in their first innings, marking their lowest ever score in a home Test match and the third lowest overall in Test history.
This dismal performance came after their previous record low of 36 runs against Australia in Adelaide in 2020. Only two Indian batsmen, Rishabh Pant and Yashasvi Jaiswal, managed to reach double figures, while five players were dismissed without scoring.
New Zealand capitalized on the poor performance, reaching 180/3 at the end of day two’s play, putting them in a strong position to secure a convincing victory. This defeat will undoubtedly raise concerns about the Indian team’s form heading into the upcoming series.
