New Zealand Dominates India in Bengaluru Test

In a shocking performance, India was bowled out for just 46 runs, their lowest total at home, during the first Test against New Zealand. New Zealand's fast bowlers, led by Matt Henry with figures of 5/15 and William O'Rourke with 4/22, dominated the Indian batting lineup in seamer-friendly conditions. Following this collapse, Devon Conway scored a resilient 91, guiding New Zealand to 180/3 at stumps on Day 2 with a commanding lead of 134 runs. Rishabh Pant suffered a knee injury during the match, leaving his return uncertain, as captain Rohit Sharma expressed regret over electing to bat first. Rachin Ravindra's performance continued to impress, as he later scored a century, contributing to New Zealand's substantial lead. The match marks a significant moment, as it is the first time since 2012 that India has conceded a lead of over 200 runs at home.
