NZ Outplays India on a Thrilling Day 1 at the 2nd Test
The first day of the second test between India and New Zealand was a cracker! The Kiwis showed they were ready to fight back after a disappointing loss in the first test. From the get-go, they were all over India, and it was a day that belonged to the visitors.
A Strong Start for the Kiwis
New Zealand's bowlers were on fire from the moment they stepped onto the field. They bowled with pace and precision, making it really hard for the Indian batsmen to score freely. The wickets started tumbling, and India was struggling to find their footing. It was a relentless attack, and India was on the back foot from the start.
A Century for Williamson
Captain Kane Williamson, who's known for his calmness and cool head, anchored the Kiwi innings after they lost early wickets. He batted beautifully, making a crucial century and leading the charge for New Zealand. The pressure was on, but Williamson stood tall and helped his team to a respectable score.
A Tough Day for the Indian Bowlers
It wasn't just the batsmen who struggled for India. The bowlers also had a tough day at the office. They weren't able to control the flow of runs, and New Zealand looked comfortable at the crease. The spinners in particular struggled to get a grip on the pitch, and it was a tough day for them.
A Day of Dominance for the Kiwis
At the end of day one, New Zealand were in a strong position. They had outplayed India in every department, and the scoreboard reflected that. The Indian team will need a strong comeback tomorrow if they want to level the series. This was a day that belonged to the Kiwis, and they'll be looking to build on this momentum in the days to come.
