India vs New Zealand 1st Live Updates: One eventful day
Well, it began with Mayank Agarwal getting to 150 followed by Ajaz Patel achieving a unique feat. New Zealand went into the innings break with heaps of momentum but Mohammed Siraj abolished it quickly by picking up three quick wickets. Then, the spinners spun their web as Ashwin (4 wickets), Axar (2), and Jayant (1) played their respective roles in bundling the Kiwis out for 62. Virat Kohli did not enforce the follow-on and Shubman Gill, after suffering a blow to his elbow while fielding, did not open. Yet, Cheteshwar Pujara (29*) and Mayank Agarwal (38*) took India to 69/0 after 21 overs. India lead by 332 runs now
IND vs NZ Live Score: Mayank Agarwal speaks to the broadcasters
"This innings was all about grit and determination. I haven't changed much, just tried to stay side on, but it's more mental than technical. For my batting, if I don't attack I'll get stuck, so if I don't put Ajaz under the pump, he will keep bowling in good areas. The Indian domestic circuit is tough, and the years anyone spends there helps them. It's hard and the experience and learnings you get is phenomenal, and I've carried that into international cricket. We will look to pile on as many runs as we can tomorrow and put the pressure on New Zealand."
