The first Test match against New Zealand being played in Bengaluru was very bad for India. After the flop performance of the batsmen, the bowlers also dashed the remaining hopes. The Kiwi team has completely sent the Indian team on the backfoot by taking a lead of more than 300 runs in the first innings. This is the first time in the last 15 years that a team has fallen so heavily on India.
The New Zealand team scored 345 runs after losing seven wickets in its first innings till lunch on Friday. The team’s lead had reached 299. This is only the fourth time in this century when a team has managed to take a lead of more than 200 runs against India on its own soil.
Earlier in the year 2008, South Africa had taken a lead of 418 runs in the first innings against India. India had lost this match. In the year 2009, Sri Lanka had taken a lead of 334 runs against India after the first innings. India was successful in drawing this match. In 2012, England took a lead of 207 runs against India in Kolkata. India had lost this match.
This is the first time since 2012 that India has taken a lead of more than 200 runs against India on its own soil. In the last 12 years, no team has been able to take a lead of 200 runs against the kind of dominance that India has established in Test cricket. However, the Kiwi team did this in Bengaluru and now it has become very difficult for the Indian team to make a comeback.
