Rohit Sharma Virat Kohli DRS: The first day of the second Test match being played between India and New Zealand was in the name of Team India. The pair of Washington Sundar and R Ashwin together bundled out the entire Kiwi team for 259 runs. Sundar bowled the best spell of his career and showed the way to the pavilion to seven batsmen of the opposition team. Captain Rohit looked a little confused regarding DRS on the first day of the Test. Due to the stubbornness of Sarfaraz Khan, Team India got the big wicket of Will Young. However, after just one ball, captain Rohit made a big mistake in the greed for the wicket. The Indian captain found it difficult to ignore Virat Kohli's words.
Rohit ignored Kohli's words
In fact, in the 24th over, R Ashwin's ball took the heavy edge of Will Young's bat and went into Pant's gloves. The Indian team appealed strongly, but the umpire declared it not out. Pant also did not look completely convinced, but Sarfaraz-Kohli convinced captain Rohit to take DRS and this decision went in favor of Team India.
You guys see how Sarfaraz Khan is asking Rohit Sharma for DRS.

However, in the very next over, Ravindra Jadeja's ball hit Devon Conway's pad and all the players appealed. The umpire again rejected this appeal. Fellow players started convincing Rohit to take DRS. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli came running to the Indian captain and asked Rohit not to take DRS. Rohit ignored Kohli's words and took the review.
Not listening to Virat proved costly for Rohit and Team India. Replays clearly showed the ball missing the leg side and the on field umpire's decision was declared correct. In this way the Indian team had to lose its review. After this, Devon Conway batted brilliantly and completed his half-century. Conway played a strong inning of 76 runs facing 141 balls.
Washington Sundar looted the party
Washington Sundar, who appeared in the white jersey of Team India after 45 months, proved to be an incomprehensible puzzle for the New Zealand batsmen in Pune. Sundar made the Kiwi batsmen dance with his spinning balls and took seven wickets in his kitty. In the longest format of cricket, Sundar bowled his best bowling spell and took 7 wickets for 59 runs. At the same time, R Ashwin took 3 wickets while spending 64 runs in 24 overs. Ashwin-Sundar pair bundled out the entire New Zealand team for 259 runs.
