Analysis of India vs New Zealand 2nd Test 2024: The whole story of India’s Pune Test defeat. The five warriors of Rohit’s brigade created a ruckus and Yashasvi Jaiswal’s dismissal became the turning point.

India vs New Zealand 2nd Test 2024 Analysis: Pune test When Rohit’s brigade scored 359 runs in the fourth innings against New Zealand, it was a big target but not impossible. Only once in Test history so far has India been able to chase a run target of more than 300 metres. This happened in the 2008 Chennai Test match against England. Under such circumstances, the 16-year history of Chennai seems possible in Pune. But after Jaiswal was out in the second innings, India’s batsmen started playing cards.

India lost the Pune Test by 113 runs. In this way, the Indian team lost a series at home for the first time in 12 years. Vijayarath stopped after winning 18 Test series. Meanwhile, New Zealand defeated India for the first time in ‘red ball cricket’ on land. In this match, India’s batsmen surrendered to Mitchell Santner in the second innings after the first, and it seems that India may need to practice playing spin now. Because Indian batsmen succumbed to the spin they were supposed to be batting experts at.

In the Pune Test, New Zealand scored 259 runs in the first innings while India could only score 156 runs. Thereafter, New Zealand scored 255 runs in the second innings. With this, India’s target was 359 runs. New Zealand’s bowling hero in this match was Mitchell Santner, who took a total of 13 wickets in the match.

India’s wicket fell after Yashasvi Jaiswal was dismissed in the second innings. After that, all the batsmen are out on the “Tu Chal main aaya” line. India’s hopes were dashed after Rishabh Pant was reduced to 0, after which Kohli was also dismissed cheaply. Apart from Yashasvi, the balance of the Indian team was also disrupted by the dismissal of five players, Shubhman Gill, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, and Sarfaraz Khan.

It is worth noting here that Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sarfaraz Khan have all been caught in Santner’s spin middle. Santner played an important role in Risha Pant’s dismissal as it was he who passed the ball to wicketkeeper Tom Brundle.

India got off to a good start as they chased 359 in the second innings, but Rohit Sharma was once again dismissed cheaply off the ball of Santner after scoring just 8 runs. The Indian team’s score at that time was 34 runs. Thereafter, Gill (23) started a relationship with Jaiswal. But after lunch on day three, he got caught in Santner’s spin and was out.

Jaiswal looked in fine form throughout the innings but he too got caught up in Santner’s spin and scored 77 runs. After this, Pant (0) was bowled out with the same score i.e. 127. As far as Test cricket is concerned, it’s not a game at all. Kohli and Pant were uncoordinated in their runs.

After Pant was out, Kohli (17) was expected to play a big innings but he was also out on Santner’s ball. With Kohli out, India’s score became 147/5. Thereafter, Santner’s magic worked again as he scored a clean knockout of Sarfaraz Khan (9). Judging by the way Sarfaraz and Kohli were out on Santner’s bowling, it seemed like they had forgotten to play spin.

India’s seventh wicket was Washington Sundar (21) who was caught at short leg by Will Young while catching a ball from Glenn Phillips. live. Thereafter, Jadeja and Ashwin tried to cope with the Indian innings but they stalled while Ashwin (18) on the other side continued with a score of 206 runs. Later, tailgaters Akash Deep and Bumrah also surrendered. In this way, India lost to New Zealand for the first time on its own soil.
