This is the first time since 1988 that New Zealand won a Test on Indian soil. This is the end of 36 years of waiting. And the fight between Sarfaraz Khan and Rishabh Panth became worthless. The shame of being all out for 46 runs was not covered. In the end, New Zealand lost Rohit by 8 wickets.
Earlier in 2004 at Wankhede, Rahul Dravid's India defeated Ricky Ponting's Australia by 13 runs despite a target of 107 runs. Rohit-Kohli could not touch the feat of the former coach. This time they could not return the history of 20 years ago.
India lost the first test to New Zealand by 8 wickets. Tom Latham needed 107 runs to win the final day of the Test. Rohit needed 10 wickets. Kiwis picked up the required 110 runs by losing 2 wickets.
India made the situation difficult by getting all out for 46 runs in the first innings. Rohit admitted that he was wrong to understand the wicket. The Indian team was responsible for that mistake. Rohit lost the first Test against New Zealand. India lost a Test at home to New Zealand after 36 years.
New Zealand needed 107 runs to win on the final day after India were bowled out for 462 in their second innings on Saturday. Jasprit Bumrah dismissed visiting captain Tom Latham (not out) on the second ball of the day. Indian bowlers could not sustain the pressure despite getting wickets at the beginning of the day. New Zealand's other opener Devon Conway and number three Will Young led the team's innings smoothly. Bumrah hit the opposition camp again by dismissing Conway (17) in the 13th over of the innings. That didn't help either. Rachin Ravindra paired with Young. They tried to score quick runs in the second wicket pair. They lead the team's innings smoothly.
Mohammad Siraj, Ravindra Jadeja could not trouble the New Zealand batsmen. However, somewhat surprisingly, Rohit did not attack the team's two main spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Kuldeep Yadav in the first hour and a half. Almost all New Zealand batsmen have weaknesses against spin. Rohit also brought Kuldeep into the first attack in the 19th over of the innings. By that time, Young and Rachin had adapted to the 22 yards of the Chinnaswamy Stadium. As a result, Kuldeep could not make special benefits. In the end, two Kiwi batsmen won the team in Sirach's first Test from unbeaten. Racine batted in ODI mood. When New Zealand were just 10 runs away from victory, Rohit brought Ashwin into the attack for the first time.
In the end, Young remained unbeaten on 48 and Racine on 39 runs. Only Bumrah got a wicket for India. He took 2 wickets for 29 runs. After losing the first test, India fell behind by 0-1 in the three-test series.
