The second test match between Team India and New Zealand has started from today i.e. 24th October at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. On the first day of the game, Washington Sundar won the hearts of all the fans by bowling brilliantly for Team India.
Let us tell you that in this match, New Zealand, batting first, scored 259 runs after losing all the wickets in its first innings. Devon Conway batted brilliantly for New Zealand and scored 76 runs with the help of 11 fours. Not only this, Rachin Ravindra played a valuable inning of 65 runs with the help of five fours and one six. However, apart from these two players, no other player from the Kiwi team could score big.
Mitchell Santner contributed 33 runs while Daryl Mitchell scored 18 runs. On behalf of the host, Washington Sundar bowled lethally and took 7 wickets. Washington Sundar did not let any New Zealand batsman dominate him and took wickets for his team at regular intervals. Apart from Washington Sundar, Ravichandran Ashwin took three wickets.
By the end of the first day’s play, Team India had scored 16 runs after losing one wicket.
Let us tell you that by the end of the first day’s play, Team India had scored 16 runs after losing one wicket in its first innings. Yashasvi Jaiswal is batting on 6* runs while brilliant batsman Shubman Gill has scored 10* runs. Captain Rohit Sharma once again failed to score big and returned to the pavilion without opening the account. Rohit Sharma’s wicket was taken by New Zealand captain Tim Southee.
If Team India wants to remain in this series then it will be very important for them to win this match. This is because New Zealand won the first Test played in Bengaluru by 8 wickets. At present, till the end of the first day’s play, it can be said that the host is ahead in this match. However, the second day’s play will be very important for both the teams.
Massive credit to the captain, coach and team management for bringing back Washington Sundar.

Washington Sundar’s 7/59 on the first day of a test match is an exceptional effort. Brave of Gautam Gambir and Rohit Sharma to pick him over Kuldeep. India now has another spin all-rounder option. Great day. #INDvsNZ

India wanted one more bowler to get the ball away from the left handers. Washy did exactly that. Got it to turn away from Rachin & Santner to get their wickets! #INDvNZL
