India vs New Zealand’s 1st test started on 16th October and was to be played at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. As there is an indication of severe rainfall in Bengaluru, the 1st day of the 1st test match was washed out without even a toss. The match was predicted to start on day 2. On day 2 of the 1st test, the toss was done where Rohit Sharma’s leading team India won the game and was decided to bat first. With overcast conditions and rain, there was a lot of bounce and seam on the pitch which helped the New Zealand pacer to get the early breakthrough team India lost 3 early wickets for just 10 runs which India lost their star batters like Rohit Sharma getting out after scoring 2 run and Virat Kohli and Sarfaraz both getting out for 0. For now, the New Zealand bowlers control the innings with India’s Yashaswi Jaiswal and Rishab Pant on the field, controlling the India innings and saving them from the collapse.
