Team India's condition looks weak in the second Test match being played against New Zealand in Pune. India's first innings was poor on the turning pitch of Pune. One hour after lunch on the second day of the Test match, Team India's first innings ended at 156 runs. Tremendous turn is being seen on the Pune pitch. Team India got trapped in the trap of its own turning pitch at the MCA Stadium in Pune.
Batsmen like Virat-Gill surrendered
Shubman Gill (30), Virat Kohli (1), Yashasvi Jaiswal (30), Rishabh Pant (18), Sarfaraz Khan (11), Ravichandran Ashwin (4), Ravindra Jadeja on the turning pitch of MCA Stadium on the second day. In the Pune Test, it seemed as if there was a competition between (38), Akashdeep (6) and Jasprit Bumrah (0) to return to the pavilion. India's first innings was reduced to 156 runs in 45.3 overs. Ravindra Jadeja scored 38 runs for Team India. Seeing such a bad condition of Team India on the turning pitch of Pune, questions are being raised on the curator also. Mitchell Santner was the highest wicket taker for New Zealand with 7 wickets. Glenn Phillips took 2 wickets and Tim Southee took 1 wicket.
This New Zealand spinner became the call for Team India
New Zealand's spin bowlers wreaked havoc on the turning pitch on the second day of the Pune Test. Especially New Zealand's left arm spinner Mitchell Santner destroyed the batting order of the Indian team. In India's first innings, Mitchell Santner took 7 wickets for 53 runs in 19.3 overs. Mitchell Santner returned Shubman Gill (30), Virat Kohli (1), Sarfaraz Khan (11), Ravichandran Ashwin (4), Ravindra Jadeja (38), Akashdeep (6) and Jasprit Bumrah (0) to the pavilion. All these batsmen seem to be bowing before the killer bowling of Mitchell Santner.
