IND vs NZ 1st Test Match: Match Day Status

Let us tell you that in today's match, thanks to the 134 runs of New Zealand's Rachin Ravindra, the visiting team took a lead of 356 runs, after which India scored 231/3 till the stumps and Glenn Phillips dismissed Virat Kohli in the last wicket of the day. Even after being bowled out for 70 runs, they were still 125 runs behind the Black Caps. Virat Kohli made a partnership of 136 runs with Sarfaraz Khan, who was still batting on 70.

Sarfaraz Khan completed his half-century in 42 balls, but when his senior teammate Kohli completed his half-century and soon completed 9,000 Test runs, the crowd erupted in joy. He is the fourth Indian to achieve this feat after Sachin Tendulkar (15,921), Rahul Dravid (13,265) and Sunil Gavaskar (10,122). Spinner Ajaz Patel dismissed the Indian openers after a strong start to the innings, when Yashasvi Jaiswal and captain Rohit Sharma scored 52 and added 72 runs.

Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 35 runs in the match, before the left-handed batsman danced on the pitch in an attempt to hit the ball from Patel and was stumped by wicketkeeper Tom Blundell. Rohit completed his half-century by hitting a four, a six and a four off Matt Henry, but soon played Patel's ball on his stumps. Kohli, who came to bat at number three, felt a little nervous in the beginning and scored his first run after 14 balls, but eventually he found his rhythm and hit eight fours and a six.

But the star of the day was Wellington-born Ravindra, who scored his second Test century and was the last Kiwi to be out in the visitors' first innings total of 402 runs. Ravindra started playing ahead of his yesterday's score of 22 and completed his century before lunch by hitting a four off Ravichandran Ashwin. He continued the attack, sharing a 137-run partnership for the eighth wicket with Tim Southee, who scored 65 runs with the help of five fours and four sixes.

After New Zealand restarted at 180-3, India's fast bowlers bowled well in the morning, with Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah performing brilliantly early on. Ravindra Jadeja led the attack and fellow spinner Kuldeep Yadav took three wickets each. India wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant remained out of the field on Thursday with a knee injury, with Dhruv Jurel replacing him. Pant suffered a knee injury in a serious car accident in December 2022, which forced him out of the game for more than a year.
