The first match of the three-match series between India and New Zealand is being played at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. After the first day was completely washed out by rain, play on the second day started on time. Indian captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bat first.
This decision of captain Rohit Sharma proved to be a nightmare for Team India. Due to rain, New Zealand's fast bowlers were getting good help from the pitch, of which they took full advantage. The failure of Team India's batsmen can be gauged from the fact that the team was out for 46 runs and some shameful records were registered in the name of Team India.
The team repeated its 14 year old record
This is only the third time in the last 14 years that the team has lost three wickets within 10 runs. Team India did this for the first time in 1999 against New Zealand. Then in the match played in Mohali, the team had lost three wickets for seven runs. After this, this was seen in Ahmedabad in 2010, when the team lost three wickets for just two runs against New Zealand.
