Now, after being out for 156 runs in the first innings of the second test, an unwanted record has been registered in the name of the Indian team. In the first innings of the second Test between India and New Zealand, there was a disappointing performance by the Indian batsmen and the entire team was out for just 156 runs. Indian batsmen could not face the challenge of Kiwi spinner Mitchell Santner. This spinner made 7 batsmen victims with the magic of his spin. Left arm spinner Santner took 7 wickets for 53 runs in 19.3 overs.

This is the first time since 2001…

India's batting flop

After losing one wicket on the first day, Indian batting remained disrupted from the beginning of the first session on the second day. Mitchell Santner started trapping the Indian batsmen in such a way that he stopped only after the team was all out. Strong batsmen like Shubman Gill (30), Virat Kohli (1), Sarfaraz Khan (11), Ravindra Jadeja (38) were out on his balls. Apart from Santner, Glenn Phillips increased India's problems by taking big wickets of Yashasvi Jaiswal (30) and Rishabh Pant (18).
