India vs New Zealand Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: Get IND vs NZ Live Updates from M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru
India vs New Zealand (IND vs NZ) Live Score, 1st Test Day 3 Match Today: New Zealand are firmly in the driver’s seat heading into the third day of the 1st Test in Bengaluru after their pace attack massacred the Indian batting lineup, wiping the hosts out for just 46.
5 of the 8 Indian batters couldn’t even open their account with Virat Kohli, Sarfaraz Khan, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin all going back to the hut after scoring ducks. Skipper Rohit Sharma did not fare too well either falling for 2 while Rishabh Pant top scored for the side with 20 as the New Zealand pacers made merry. Matt Henry and William ORourke were almost unplayable as India recorded their lowest total in a home Test.
The BlackCaps, meanwhile, looked comfortable with the bat with Devon Conway scoring 91 before being dismissed by Ashwin. A well-set Rachin Ravindra and Daryl Mitchell took New Zealand to 180 runs at stumps with the visitors losing 3 wickets.

Pride and injudiciousness: Indian batsmen’s minds wilted, techniques caved in as they are shot out for 46
A historic collapse saw India bowled out for just 46 runs on the second day of the Test match against New Zealand in Bangalore. The team’s batting performance was widely criticized as they succumbed to a relentless pace attack from the Kiwi bowlers.
Despite the challenging conditions, India’s decision to bat first proved to be a major error. The team’s batting lineup was completely dismantled by New Zealand’s seam bowlers, who exploited the overcast conditions to full effect.
Several Indian batsmen failed to adapt to the conditions, struggling against the swinging and seaming ball. The team’s tactics, including the decision to promote Virat Kohli and Sarfraz Khan, also backfired.
The defeat marks a significant setback for India, who were aiming to build momentum ahead of their upcoming tour of Australia. The team’s batting performance will need to improve significantly if they are to have any chance of success in the upcoming series. (READ MORE)
