Despite the possibility of rain on the second day of the Bengaluru Test match, Indian team captain Rohit Sharma decided to bat first after winning the toss. Taking advantage of the moisture present in the pitch, the three fast bowlers of the Kiwi team, Tim Southee, Matt Henry and William O’Rourke, did not give the Indian batsmen a chance to play freely. While Rohit Sharma was out after scoring only 2 runs, Virat Kohli and Sarfaraz Khan could not even open their account. When the game ended at lunch, Team India had lost 6 wickets till the score was 34. After 1969, Team India has lost its first 6 wickets on such a low score in a Test match played at home.
