India All-Out At 46: New Zealand smoked India in the first innings of the ongoing Test series at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. India lost all of their wickets in half a day at a score of 46, which is their third-lowest Test score in history.
Kiwis pace bowlers ran riot on the Indian batters, especially Matt Henry and Will O’Rourke.
India All-Out At 46: 5 Ducks
Indian captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and elected to bat; a decision soon proved to be wrong. Tim Southee gave the first knock on India by dismissing Rohit Sharma for 2 in the sixth over. India had just 9 runs by then. Virat Kohli came to the crease, but it seemed like the Royal Challengers Bengaluru man was in a hurry to go back to the pavilion as he gave a catch to Glenn Phillips in the over of Will O’Rourke. Kohli’s account was null when he was walking back.
Next prey was Sarfaraz Khan, as the youngster decided to copy Virat Kohli by getting out for a 3-ball duck when Devon Conway made an amazing catch in the delivery of Matt Henry. The score was 10/3 at the time.
Yashaswi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant gave India a little hope as both the batters seemed to be elevating the Indian score. But when the scoreboard reached 31, Will O’Rourke gave India another hit on the head by sending Yashasvi Jaiswal (13/63) to the hands of Ajaz Patel.
After that, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, and R Ashwin all came and went back with a big zero in their hands.
Rishabh Pant, who was at 20, got caught by Tom Latham in the delivery of Matt Henry. Later, O’Rourke sent Jasprit Bumrah back through the hands of Henry and struck the final nail in the Indian innings.
Responding to that, when 40 overs are done, New Zealand’s score is at 158 runs after losing 3 wickets.
