The first Test between India and New Zealand is being played at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. Batting first, India won by 258 runs for the loss of 4 wickets. Shreyas Iyer (75 *) and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja (50 *), who are currently making their Test debuts, are at the crease. The two have a partnership of 113 off 208 balls so far. The next day, the Indian team will try to save their wickets and reach the high score.
The first season will be crucial for the NZ team. The
Kiwis have star pacers like Kyle Jamieson and Tim Southee. As a result, they will enter the field with India’s back-to-back wicket-taking game plan in the opening overs of the first session. Looking at the performances of Ejaz Patel and Rachin Ravindra now, it is clear that they do not have the skills and experience of Indian spinners.
