Cricket Players'Can't understand the logic': Fans on Twitter left baffled after India's Kohli decides against enforcing follow-on vs NZ
IND vs NZ 2nd Test: Despite sitting on hefty first innings of 263, India skipper Virat Kohli didn't enforce the follow-on against New Zealand and his decision left the world of Twitter baffled.
After losing all their 10 wickets to one man in Ajaz Patel, India bounced backed exceptionally well to skittle New Zealand out for a paltry 62 in their first innings of the second Test in Mumbai on Saturday. Skipper Virat Kohli, with his team sitting on a 263-run lead, had a chance to enforce the follow-on but he decided against it and that did not leave a lot of fans on Twitter particularly happy.
Courtest of Mayank Agarwal's brilliant 150, India posted 325. Ajaz Patel became only the third player after Anil Kumble and Jim Laker to bag all 10 wickets in a single innings of a Test. Despite handing his side the momentum, the hosts managed to wreak havoc with the ball. And when India decided to bat again, fans took to the micro-blogging site to express their displeasure.
Check out some of the fan reactions:
New Zealand also broke a 34-year-old record for the lowest score on Indian soil. India were bowled out on 75 against West Indies in Delhi.
The Kiwis were caught in a web of spin as India's formidable attack claimed seven wickets while Mohammed Siraj picked the first three wickets of the innings to dismantle the New Zealand batting order. As many as 8 New Zealand batters failed to cross two figures, while Kyle Jamieson registered the highest score in the innings (17).
New Zealand's 62 in 28.1 overs was the lowest Tests total against India, the lowest Tests total for New Zealand against India, and the lowest Tests total at the Wankhede Stadium in the Maharashtra capital of Mumbai.
