Mitchell Santner Shines in India Test Collapse

In the second Test against New Zealand in Pune, India's batting collapsed as they were bowled out for just 156 runs, with Mitchell Santner achieving career-best figures of 7-53. New Zealand capitalized on India's poor shot selection and managed to secure a significant 103-run first-innings lead, putting India under immense pressure as they face the prospect of losing a home Test series for the first time since 2012. Santner's performance was complemented by Glenn Phillips, who contributed with 2-26, as India struggled to recover from an early setback at 16-1. Key players like Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli fell cheaply, with Gill out for 30 and Kohli for just 1 run. The Indian team, needing a strong response, will face a difficult challenge in their second innings on a spin-friendly pitch. New Zealand leads the series 1-0 and aims to maintain their dominance in the ongoing match.
