IND VS NZ: Team India collapsed on 46 runs, 5 batsmen could not even open their account, the most shameful record made

The New Zealand team which lost 0-2 against a weak team like Sri Lanka gave Team India a tough time in Bengaluru. On the second day of the Bengaluru Test, Team India's batting collapsed like a pack of cards on the M Chinnaswamy pitch. Team India scored just 46 runs in the first innings. The situation was such that only 2 batsmen of Team India reached double figures, while half the team could not even open their account. Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Sarfaraz Khan, Ravindra Jadeja, and R Ashwin could not even open their account. Rishabh Pant was the leading run scorer of the team scoring 20 runs.

46 runs is the lowest score of Team India on its home ground. Earlier, the Indian team was all out for 75 runs against West Indies in 1979. This is the third-lowest score of Team India in Test cricket. In 2020, Team India was all out for 36 runs against Australia and now this team could not even reach 50 runs at its home.

It became difficult for Team India to score runs on the Chinnaswamy ground where sixes and fours are hit. On the second day of the game, Captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and chose to bat first. After this, New Zealand bowlers played their part. Tim Southee gave the first blow to Team India, who bowled Rohit Sharma for just 2 runs. After this, Virat Kohli came to the crease and this player was dismissed without opening his account. After this, the same thing happened with Sarfaraz Khan.

It seemed that Rishabh Pant and Yashasvi Jaiswal would handle the innings but the New Zealand fast bowlers had different plans. William O'Rourke dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal as well. KL Rahul could not even open his account and Team India lost half of the team for 33 runs. After this, it seemed as if the wickets were falling in a row. Jadeja and Ashwin also got out on zero and Team India collapsed to a shameful score in no time. Which is its lowest score in a home Test match.
