Mumbai, 1 November (Hindustan Reporter). In the third Test match being played between India and New Zealand, Indian batting once again seems to be falling apart. By the end of the first day's play, the Indian team had scored 86 runs after losing 4 wickets. Before this, New Zealand's innings was reduced to 235 runs.

Captain Rohit Sharma once again failed to play a big innings in India's innings and would be out after scoring 18 runs. Then Shubman Gill, who came to bat first down, supported Yashasvi Jaiswal. There was a partnership of 53 runs between the two, when Jaiswal (30 runs) got bowled by Ejaz Patel while playing a reverse shot. After this, Mohammed Siraj, who came to the A crease as a night watchman, also returned to the pavilion on the very first ball of Patel. Then Virat Kohli, who came out to bat, disappointed the team and the audience. Kohli scored just four runs and was run out on his own call. At the end of the day's play, Rishabh Pant is present at the crease after scoring 1 and Gill 31 runs.

New Zealand's first innings was limited to 235 runs

Earlier, New Zealand scored 235 runs while batting. For the team, captain Tom Latham scored 28 runs, Will Young scored 71 runs and Daryl Mitchell scored 82 runs. For India, Ravindra Jadeja took 5 wickets, Washington Sundar took 4 wickets and Akashdeep got one success. The last match of the three-match Test series is being played between India and New Zealand from Friday. The Kiwi team has already taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. In such a situation, Team India has come out to save itself from a clean sweep. New Zealand had won the first Test played in Bangalore by eight wickets and the second Test played in Pune by 113 runs.
