India vs New Zealand: Day 1 - A Day of Batting Dominance!

Alright, folks, let's dive into the action from the first day of the India vs New Zealand Test match. It was a day where the batsmen were on fire, leaving the bowlers with a bit of a headache.

India Start Strong

India started off the day with a bang, thanks to a solid partnership between Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill. The two openers looked super comfortable at the crease, taking the New Zealand bowlers to the cleaners. They put on a massive 143-run stand before Gill unfortunately fell for a well-made 63. But, hold on, it wasn't over yet!

Rohit Sharma's Masterclass

Rohit Sharma, the captain himself, decided to take the show on his shoulders. He kept the scoreboard ticking over with a flurry of boundaries, reaching his century before lunch. Talk about a dominant display! He eventually finished the day with an unbeaten 122, leaving New Zealand completely demoralized.

New Zealand Struggles

The Kiwis, meanwhile, were struggling to contain the Indian onslaught. Their bowlers looked tired and their field placements were suspect. They just couldn't find a way to break the Indian momentum.

India's Strong Finish

By the end of the day, India had amassed a formidable 347-run total. They lost a few wickets towards the end, but the damage was already done. The scorecard paints a pretty clear picture: India are in a commanding position going into day 2.
