India vs New Zealand, 2nd Test – Live Cricket Score
As India had been before, they lost the first Test against England but bounced straight back. After winning 18 on the bounce, they haven’t lost a single series at home since 2012. New Zealand are going to have to have a big challenge to keep this side down.
Kane Williamson is unavailable as the opener continues to recover from a groin strain. The big question — or rather two of them — is whether they go in with a fourth seamer or with an extra spinner. If they take Mitchell Santner or Ish Sodhi off the bench in place of one of their seamers, they can. The turn it takes will depend on the conditions and how much turn they think it’ll take.
India will return Shubman Gill and need one of KL Rahul or Sarfaraz Khan to make way. Gambhir had come to Rahul’s defense but didn’t confirm that Gill would be picked while someone else is dropped.
He also hinted that workload management for the pacers would depend on the result of this Test. So Jasprit Bumrah is likely to play. But there are question marks on who the second seamer will be, or should be. Mohammed Siraj averages over 36 at home in 13 Tests, which is a reasonable sample size in these conditions. Those returns represent a huge drop in quality in the absence of Mohammed Shami, and there is a case to be made for Akash Deep, who has been impressive in the limited opportunities given to him. Apart from that, the spin trio is likely to be unchanged, although India did add Washington Sundar to the squad after the defeat in Bengaluru.
India’s 12-year Test series winning at home has finally come to an end
India’s 12-year-long streak of successful Test series at home is over as New Zealand beat India 2-0 in a three-match series in Pune. New Zealand’s Mitchell Santner visited in a fiery spell to complete a 113-run victory over India in the second Test for the three-Test series in Pune. India fell short by 113 runs as they finished at 245 with skipper Rohit Sharma going for eight, after which India had to chase 359, losing wicket of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill’s partnership to Santner to keep returning to the crease. For New Zealand, Mitchell Santner scalped seven and six wickets, while Ajaz Patel scalped two. For India, Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 77, while Ravindra Jadeja scored 42.
