Currently, the second test match between Team India and New Zealand is being played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. The second day of play of this match has started. On the second day of the game, Team India batted disappointingly in its first innings and the team was all out for 156 runs.

All the batsmen from Team India batted poorly. Let us tell you that the Kiwi spinners kept the pressure on the host batsmen by bowling lethally in this match. While on one hand brilliant spinner Mitchell Santner took 7 wickets, on the other hand Glenn Phillips took two wickets.

Former New Zealand player Simon Doull has given his opinion regarding the batsmen of Team India. Simon Doull said on GeoCinema during the lunch break of the second day’s play, ‘I think there is a misconception around the world now that these modern Indian players are playing spin better than anyone else. It is not like that at all. Like the rest of the players in the world, so are India’s batsmen. Gone are the days when Team India had Ganguly, Gambhir, Laxman and Dravid.

Sachin Tendulkar was an excellent batsman against spin and even before that there have been many great batsmen in the team who have always batted brilliantly against spin. On turning tracks, Team India’s spinners are as good as the spinners of the opposing team. When turning track is made in IPL then they criticize it.

New Zealand is in a strong position in the second test

Let us tell you that the New Zealand team is currently in a strong position in the second test. They had scored 259 runs in their first innings after losing all the wickets, in response to which the hosts were all out for 156 runs. In reply, New Zealand has taken a considerable lead in the second innings.

If Team India wants to survive in this series, then it is very important for them to win this second test. New Zealand is leading 1-0 in the three-match Test series.
