In a surprising turn of events, India were bowled out for just 46 runs in their first innings against New Zealand in the 1st Test at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. The Indian batting line-up crumbled under pressure, leaving fans stunned and sharing their reactions across social media platforms. Kiwi pacer Matt Henry's lethal five-wicket haul led the attack as India registered their lowest total at home.
Pitch conditions and the road ahead for India
The pitch in Bengaluru had a significant amount of moisture, which played a key role in India’s downfall. New Zealand’s pace trio, led by Henry, exploited the conditions to full effect, consistently pitching the ball up and generating movement. In contrast, Indian seamers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj, known for hitting the deck, struggled to create similar pressure.
As New Zealand continues to build a solid foundation in their first innings, India will need to regroup and devise a strategy to claw back into the game. With rain expected to disrupt play, India must capitalize on any opportunity to put the pressure back on New Zealand if they wish to keep their chances alive in this Test series.

1. Maybe fans are mature enough to realize that Team India is a consistent performer & anyone can have an off day.
