Team India had to spend at least one bad day in Bengaluru’s M Chidambaram stadium during the second day of the first test against New Zealand; the first day washed out due to rain. The Indian batting line up collaped completely on day 2, all of the ten wickets falling with only 46 runs in hand. India fought back from the second innings. No need to say, the Kiwis gave a tough fight to the visitors; emotions were coming out all over the Indian dressing room. Rohit Sharma could not hold his frustration when Virat Kohli was dismissed for 70 runs on the very last ball of day 3. The Indian skipper was not happy to see the ways Virat lost his wicket to Glenn Phillips delivery. The flatter ball outside off drew a defensive shot, but Kohli edged it faintly. Though initially given out, Kohli immediately reviewed the decision. However, the DRS confirmed a slight edge, leaving him visibly disappointed as he walked back to the pavilion.
