indian cricket team
The second day of the Bengaluru Test was very embarrassing for Team India. In front of the lethal bowling of New Zealand, Team India collapsed for 46 runs in its own home. In this way, many shameful records were registered in the name of the Indian team. Team India was limited to 46 runs in 31.2 overs in its first innings, which is its lowest score in Test at home. This is the first time that the Indian team could not even touch the 50-run mark in a home Test innings. This is also the third lowest score of the Indian team in the history of Test cricket.
India’s lowest score in test
- 36 vs Australia, Adelaide, 2020
- 42 vs England, Lord’s, 1974
- 46 vs New Zealand, Bengaluru, 2024
- 58 vs Australia, Brisbane, 1947
- 58 vs England, Manchester, 1952
- 66 vs South Africa, Durban, 1996
- 67 vs Australia, Melbourne, 1948
Half of the Indian team could not even open their account, that is, five batsmen could not even open their account. Virat Kohli, Sarfaraz Khan, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin were out for ducks. In this way the Indian team equaled the 136 year old shameful record. In fact, this is only the second time in the history of Test cricket that 5 of the top eight batsmen returned to the pavilion for a duck in a Test innings. This has happened for the first time since 1888. Earlier, Australia had made this shameful record against England in Manchester in the year 1888. Then the entire Australian team was bundled out for 70 runs and 5 of its top eight batsmen could not even open their account.
Solid start for New Zealand
After bowling out India for 46 runs in the first innings, New Zealand had scored 180 runs for three wickets on the second day of the rain-interrupted first Test match. At the end of the second day’s play due to bad light, Rachin Ravindra was playing on 22 and Daryl Mitchell was playing on 14 runs. New Zealand now has a lead of 134 runs. On the second day, R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav got 1 success each.
