Santner has taken 7 wickets.
IND vs NZ 2nd Test: The second match of the ongoing Test series between India and New Zealand is being played at the MCA Stadium in Pune. So the second day’s play ended today on 25th October. But in today’s game, Team India’s batting proved to be a major flop.
In reply to New Zealand’s 259 runs, India could score only 156 runs in the first innings. So the credit for this poor performance of Team India completely goes to New Zealand’s experienced all-rounder Mitchell Santner.

This is Santner’s first fifty in Test cricket in India. Santner’s amazing performance is being praised everywhere. On the other hand, now former Indian player Anil Kumble has been seen praising Santner’s performance.
Kumble gave a big statement regarding Mitchell Santner
Let us tell you that after the end of the second day’s play in the second Test between India and New Zealand, Kumble, while discussing Santner’s performance with Sports 18, said – He bowls from an angle, and he also bowls from an angle in white ball cricket. Has the understanding of bowling.
He bowls with control at one spot and keeps variations in his pace. He is not only turning the ball but also uses pace in bowling. This is something he is very good at.
New Zealand took a lead of 301 runs over India
