IND vs NZ: From Yashasvi Jaiswal’s ill-advised shot to Virat Kohli’s misjudged run, how fans were left stunned at Wankhede
A thrilling day of Test cricket at the Wankhede Stadium took an unexpected turn as India suffered a dramatic batting collapse in the final session. After a promising start, the Indian team lost three wickets in quick succession, leaving the match evenly poised.
The Indian innings was off to a solid start with openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill building a solid partnership. However, the introduction of spin changed the course of the game. Jaiswal, in an attempt to accelerate the scoring rate, played a risky reverse sweep that resulted in his dismissal.
Following Jaiswal’s dismissal, India’s collapse intensified. Night watchman Mohammed Siraj was dismissed early, and Virat Kohli’s run-out added to the team’s woes. The Indian team’s inability to build partnerships and their aggressive approach against the spin bowlers proved costly.
The quick wickets left the Indian team reeling and put them in a precarious position. The pitch, which was offering assistance to the spinners, added to the challenge for the Indian batsmen. The match is poised for a thrilling finish, with both teams fighting for an advantage. (READ MORE)
