After the flop of India’s batting in the first innings of the Bengaluru Test match, former Indian spinner and veteran cricketer Anil Kumble has given a big statement. Kumble says that at this time India needs someone like Cheteshwar Pujara.

It is noteworthy that currently the first match of the three-match Test series between India and New Zealand is being played at Chinnaswamy Stadium. So on the second day of the game, Team India, which won the toss and batted first, was reduced to just 46 runs. This is India’s lowest score in Test cricket in Asia, and third lowest overall.

Anil Kumble gave a big statement

Let us tell you that after the collapse of India’s first innings against New Zealand, while discussing on Geo Cinema, Anil Kumble said – Virat Kohli should have batted at number 4, he is your number 1 batsman at that position. For the number three spot, India needs someone like Cheteshwar Pujara, who has done so well playing there for so many years.

He would have been there because he has played 100 Test matches. I think if he had been there, he wouldn’t have gotten to hit the ball. He would let the ball come in, in this situation you miss a player like that. India are definitely in a spot of bother in this match.

Matt Henry completed test matches

Let us tell you that in the match, Kiwi bowler Matt Henry bowled brilliantly and took five wickets for 15 runs in 13.2 overs. In the match, he took the wickets of Sarfaraz Khan, Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin and Kuldeep Yadav. So as soon as Henry took the wicket of Kuldeep, he completed his 100 Test wickets in 26 Test matches.
