IND vs NZ: This feat happened for the first time in 23 years, Team India's rule at home is coming to an end!

IND vs NZ: After Bengaluru, Team India is also on the backfoot in the Pune Test. In response to the 259 runs scored by New Zealand in the first innings, the entire Indian team collapsed after scoring only 156 runs. The shameful performance of the Indian batsmen continued in the second Test as well. Veteran batsmen like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli again flopped miserably. Rohit's account did not even open, so Kohli was clean bowled after scoring just one run. On the basis of first innings, New Zealand took a significant lead of 103 runs. By the end of the day's play, the visiting team had scored 198 runs on the score board after losing 5 wickets. The Indian team's reign at home is fading. Due to the shameful performance of the batsmen, an incident has happened with Team India, which had not happened even once in the last 23 years.

This happened for the first time in 23 years

In the first innings, the entire Indian team collapsed after scoring only 156 runs. For the team, maximum 38 runs came from the bat of Ravindra Jadeja, while Yashasvi Jaivasal contributed 30 runs. Rishabh Pant could score only 18 runs, while Sarfaraz Khan went on after scoring 11 runs. New Zealand took a lead of more than 100 runs against India for the second consecutive Test match.

This has happened after 23 years on Indian soil, when a team has taken a lead of more than 100 runs against Team India in two consecutive matches. Earlier in the year 2001, Australia had achieved a big lead of 173 runs at Wankhede and 274 runs at Eden Gardens.

Team India's batting order flopped again

After Bengaluru, in the first innings of the Pune Test also, the Indian batting order fell apart like a pack of cards. New Zealand spin bowler Mitchell Santner made the Indian batsmen dance with his spinning balls. Santner took 7 wickets while spending 53 runs, while two wickets came in the bag of Glenn Phillips. After Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubhman Gill returned to the pavilion, the Indian innings faltered badly and within no time the entire team collapsed for 156 runs.
