IND vs NZ (Photo Source: Getty Images) Former India cricketer Dinesh Karthik has backed Indian spinners Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja to make a comeback in the second Test against New Zealand in Pune after a disappointing performance in the first Test in Bengaluru. In the first test, India could not defend the target of 107 runs and in the end they had to face defeat by 8 wickets. In the Bengaluru Test, R Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja together took seven wickets, but during this period the economy rate of all three was the biggest cause of concern. In the first innings, Ashwin and Jadeja gave runs at an economy rate between 5-6, while in the second innings, Kuldeep Yadav gave runs at an economy run rate of 8.7. Dinesh Karthik gave a big statement regarding the spinners of Team India. Seeing the brutality with which Kiwi batsmen thrashed Team India’s spin attack in Bengaluru, the tension of Team India’s fans seems to be increasing. Whereas former Indian wicketkeeper batsman Dinesh Karthik has given some surprising statements regarding Indian spinners. After Team India’s defeat against New Zealand in Bengaluru, former cricketer Dinesh Karthik said on Cricbuzz, ‘I will not think too much about the Indian spinners, it was not a good Test match for them as a unit. Be it Kuldeep Yadav, R Ashwin or Ravindra Jadeja. It was good because you want such players to get pinched, because whenever they come back, they come back very strongly. I think the conditions in Pune will be better for these three and you will see Ashwin and Jadeja performing well in Pune. Let us tell you that the second match of the Test series between India and New Zealand will be played in Pune from 24th October.

IND vs NZ: Five reasons which became the reason for Team India’s defeat, one decision of Rohit Sharma ruined the game

New Zealand defeated India by 8 wickets in the first test match. IND vs NZ (Photo Source: Getty Images) Team India, captained by Rohit Sharma, had to face a shameful defeat by 8 wickets in the Test played against New Zealand in Bengaluru. With this victory, New Zealand took a 1-0 lead in the three-match Test series. In this match, India set a target of only 107 runs for the Kiwi team, which they easily achieved on the fifth day at the loss of 2 wickets. Now the question in everyone’s mind is that where did Team India go wrong in this match and why did it lose this match, let us tell you. IND vs NZ 5 Reasons Why India Lost First Test Match (Five reasons why Team India lost the first test against New Zealand) 1. Rohit Sharma’s wrong decision on the toss. When the toss of this match took place on the second day of the Test match, there were overcast conditions. Not a single ball was bowled on the first day due to rain. At the same time, when the game started on the second day, Rohit took a wrong decision after winning the toss. India chose to bat and the entire team was bundled out for only 46 runs. Five players including Virat Kohli could not even open their accounts. Rohit himself later admitted that there was a mistake in taking the decision after the toss. Rohit said after the first day’s play, “As a captain, I am sad to see the score of 46 runs because the decision to bat first was mine. But one or two bad decisions are made every year.” 2. Conway’s innings proved costly for India After India were bowled out cheaply in the first innings, New Zealand opener Devon Conway gave trouble to the Indian bowlers. Conway played an inning of 91 runs in 105 balls with the help of 11 fours and 3 sixes. He made a partnership of 67 runs for the first wicket with captain Tom Latham (15). Conway then took over the innings with Will Young (33). Both of them added 75 runs for the second wicket and put pressure on the host team. 3. Racine-Saudi partnership Apart from Conway, Rachin Ravindra (134 in 157 balls), who came to bat at number four, troubled the Indian bowlers. Rachin made a 39-run partnership with Daryl Mitchell (18) for the fourth wicket. However, when Tim Southee (65) came to support Rachin, both of them made a partnership of 137 runs for the eighth wicket. Thanks to the partnership of both, New Zealand scored 402 in the first innings. If India had managed to break this partnership early, then perhaps New Zealand’s innings could have been reduced to below 300 and perhaps the result of the match could have been different. 4. Rahul and Jadeja failed in the second innings also In the second innings of the test match, India scored 462 runs on the board due to the excellent batting of Sarfaraz Khan (150), Rishabh Pant…

IND vs NZ: New Zealand created history in Bengaluru, won the test match in India after 36 years

IND vs NZ First Test Report: The first match of the three-match Test series between India and New Zealand was played at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. In this match, New Zealand created history by defeating Team India by 8 wickets. With this victory, the Kiwi team has taken a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. The play on the fifth day of the match started late due to rain but after that the weather got favor with the team. In the end he achieved the target easily. In this match, Indian captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bat first, which proved to be completely wrong. Batting first, India was out after scoring only 46 runs, in response New Zealand scored 402 and took a lead of 356 runs. India had given an easy target to New Zealand by scoring 462 runs in the second innings with the help of Sarfaraz Khan’s (150) first Test century and Rishabh Pant’s 99 runs. Play was ended early on the fourth day of the match due to bad light. Play started late on the fifth day also. On the very second ball of the day, Jasprit Bumrah gave a big success to India by dismissing Kiwi team captain Tom Latham LBW. However, Conway and Will Young got their team out of this problem. The Indian bowlers troubled both the batsmen a lot but later the Kiwi batsmen were seen scoring runs easily. Due to the partnership of just 35 runs between these two, New Zealand came back into the match. Bumrah raised India’s hopes by dismissing Conway, but Young again got the support of Ravindra and together they decided India’s defeat. With this, New Zealand was successful in winning a Test match in India after 36 years. Earlier, the Kiwi team had defeated India in Test at home in the series played in 1988-89. Ravindra remained unbeaten after scoring 39 runs. Whereas Will Young returned unbeaten on 47 runs. The second Test of the series between the two teams is to be played in Pune from October 24.
