IND vs NZ: If Team India does these 5 things… then New Zealand may face a crushing defeat in the Bengaluru Test.

The first match of the three-Test series between India and New Zealand is being played at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The match is being watched like a Bollywood masala film. What will be the result of this match in rain? No cricket pundit can guess about this.

India's first innings in the match ended at just 46 runs. In reply, New Zealand scored 402 runs in the first innings. After this, till the end of the third day's play, India scored 231 runs at the loss of 3 wickets. The Indian team is still 125 runs behind New Zealand and has 7 wickets left. There are still two days of play left. That means the match has suspense like a Bollywood film. However, New Zealand still seems to have the upper hand in the match. But one thing to be kept in mind here is that the Indian team is brilliant in reverses in the second innings. Maybe monsoon can help India too.

How can weather help?
According to Accuweather.com, there is a 25 percent chance of rain in Bengaluru today. There is a 40 percent chance of rain on the last day. If seen this way, it may rain on the fourth and fifth days. If this happens and the match is not played then it may be a draw.
Know how the Indian team can push New Zealand back in this match and turn the tide of the match.

1. Sarfaraz will have to play an excellent innings
Sarfaraz Khan has scored 70 runs. Personally, he has a chance to prove himself in Bengaluru that he can play marathon innings in international cricket as well as domestic cricket. This means a long and continuous shift. Sarfaraz Khan has scored a triple century in the first class format in domestic cricket. In such a situation, he will have to give such a memorable performance.

2. Expectations from Rishabh Pant
The good news about Rishabh Pant is that he will come to bat for the Indian team in the second innings. He got injured in the first innings. When the Indian team took the field on the third day of the match, Rishabh Pant was nowhere to be seen. Dhruv Jurel took his place behind the wicket. Who is part of the 15-member team. Now in such a situation, if Rishabh comes to play in the match and gives his best, then the tension of New Zealand will increase.

3. Rahul will have to show strength
KL Rahul will have to show his Kanpur Test form here too. Rahul played a brilliant inning of 68 runs against Bangladesh in Kanpur. That Chinnaswamy Stadium is like home for Rahul. Because he has played cricket here for a long time. Represents Karnataka in domestic cricket. Thus they have a good understanding of the area. If it freezes on the fourth day then no one can stop it. Rahul will have to save wickets along with runs.

4. Ashwin and Jadeja will have to show strength
In the Chennai Test against Bangladesh, the bowling of Ashwin and Jadeja saved the Indian team when the team was out for just 144 runs. In this match both of them together took 11 wickets. It can be fun if we see the contribution of Jadeja and Ashwin with the bat.

5. Bowlers will have to counter-attack
On the fourth day, the focus of the Indian team is on batting. But if New Zealand is unable to score a big score, then India's bowlers will also have to be ready for a counter-attack. Then the spin trio Jadeja Ashwin and Kuldeep as well as Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj will have to be ready. Because it has to be understood that it will not be easy to play spin bowling on Chinnaswamy's pitch in the fourth innings. In such a situation, there will be pressure on the bowlers to figure out how to return to the match by taking wickets.
