India vs New Zealand, Day 1: Rohit's Wicket Rocks the Boat

Day 1 of the first Test between India and New Zealand at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur saw a dramatic start, with Indian skipper Rohit Sharma falling early in the innings. The day wasn't all doom and gloom though, as India managed to recover well and post a decent total.

The early wicket of Rohit was a major blow to the Indian team. The skipper, who's been in sensational form lately, was dismissed by Tim Southee for just 9 runs. This was a huge setback for India, as Rohit's presence at the crease is crucial to their batting line-up.

However, the rest of the Indian batting order showed some resilience. Mayank Agarwal and Cheteshwar Pujara put together a crucial partnership to stabilize the innings. Pujara, as always, was a rock at the crease, grinding out a patient 62 runs.

At the end of the day, India managed to score 258 runs for the loss of 4 wickets. This is a decent score on a pitch that is offering some assistance to the bowlers.

The key takeaway from Day 1 was that the Indian batting lineup looked shaky at times. Rohit's early dismissal was a sign of the challenges ahead. However, Pujara's gritty innings, coupled with the contributions from other batters, helped India get back on track.

The next two days will be crucial for India. They need to build a strong lead on day 2 and then bowl out the New Zealand team on a good score. It's going to be an exciting battle, and hopefully, India can come out on top.
