India vs New Zealand Commentary
7:32 AM IST Right then, that's a thrilling conclusion to the first Test between India and New Zealand! With a commanding performance, New Zealand has drawn first blood in this three-match series, with Tom Latham making history by breaking a 36-year dry spell on Indian soil. Coming into this series after a disappointing outing against Sri Lanka, everything seemed stacked against the Kiwis. However, they have staged a remarkable comeback, reasserting their authority in red-ball cricket. The action now shifts to Pune, where the second Test at the MCA Stadium promises even more excitement. Mark your calendars for Thursday, October 24th, with the first ball scheduled to be bowled at 4 am GMT! Be sure to join us early for all the pre-match insights and buildup. Until then, stay tuned, take care, and goodbye!
7:24 AM IST Rachin Ravindra is the Player of the Match for his outstanding knocks with the bat in both innings. He scored 173 runs in total! He says it was a nice wicket to bat on and the odds were in his favour. Adds that the clarity in his mind with the footwork helps a lot and he just backs himself to play positively. Mentions that when you have 6 Tests in a row in sub-continent conditions you have to be prepared and in Chennai, he wanted to have a look at how to play on red soil and black soil pitches. Says that he likes to be in good positions while batting, not necessarily taking the game to the opponent but playing freely. Further adds that he loves the support of this crowd and is great to play in front of his family and friends.
7:23 AM IST Tom Latham, the victorious skipper says that they also would have batted first and it was a great toss to lose. Adds that they set the game beautifully in the first two innings but knew India would come hard at them. States that despite having knocked India over for 46 they knew they needed to play well and never thought India were out of the game. Mentions that the ability William O'Rourke has to generate that extra bounce and movement is exceptional and he is glad to have him in the side and is rightly backed by the rest of the bowling unit. Appreciates Rachin Ravindra and says that he has shown his class despite being slotted into a new role is great.
7:16 AM IST Rohit Sharma, the skipper of India is up for a chat. He says it was a great effort with the bat in the second innings after a disappointing first-inning performance. Adds that they didn't bat well in the first innings and wanted to improve and a couple of guys stood out. Mentions that when you are 350-odd runs behind, you can't think too much and just play according to the ball. Says that when Sarfaraz and Pant were batting everyone was on the edge and it was a treat to watch them bat and a couple of partnerships got them back in the game. Tells they have to take responsibility for being bowled out for 46, but as he said earlier, he didn't expect the ball to do that much under overcast conditions and got it wrong. Ends by saying that, they have got a lot of players in the team who know how to come back after a setback and they will be looking to do exactly that in the next game.
7:11 AM IST It's time for the Presentation Ceremony...
7:01 AM IST India dominated most of Day 4, thanks to an inspired partnership between Rishabh Pant and Sarfaraz Khan, who added 177 runs and comfortably erased the deficit. Sarfaraz notched up a magnificent 150, setting India on course for a big lead. However, the introduction of the second new ball changed the momentum dramatically. Tim Southee struck, dismissing Sarfaraz and triggering a stunning collapse as India crumbled from 400/3 to 462 all out. Pant fell heartbreakingly short of a century, dismissed for 99, and New Zealand were left with a modest target of just 107 runs. However, bad light brought an early end to proceedings after only four balls in the final innings, setting the stage for a thrilling finish on Day 5.
