Should India have sent KL at 3 than Virat? Home boy, very familiar ground, has played in these conditions, opener in general, has the technique to see off the new ball in bowler-friendly conditions. The broadcast did show KL at No. 3 originally before changing to Virat.
India losing 3+ wickets for 10 runs or below at home (since 1990) 7 runs vs NZ, Mohali, 1999 2 runs vs NZ, Ahmedabad, 2010 10 runs vs NZ, Bengaluru, 2024*
Ramesh B: If the first innings gets wrapped up within 150, NZ batting 4th will not provide any advantage to IND. Feel like batting first was the wrong decision here, obviously in hindsight.
10 runs is the lowest at the fall of 3rd wicket for India since September 2018 (2 runs against ENG at The oval).
"Things are brightening here and I am hoping the covers will be soon," opines Saba Karim on the broadcast.
