The second day of the Bengaluru Test was very shameful for Team India. Team India collapsed on 46 runs in its own home in front of deadly bowling of New Zealand. In this way, many shameful records were registered in the name of the Indian team. Team India collapsed on 46 runs in 31.2 overs in its first innings, which is its lowest score in a Test at home. This is the first time that the Indian team could not even touch the 50-run mark in an innings of a home Test. This is also the third lowest score of the Indian team in the history of Test cricket.

Half of India's team could not even open their account, that is, five batsmen could not even open their account. Virat Kohli, Sarfaraz Khan, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin were out on ducks. In this way, the Indian team equaled the 136-year-old shameful record. In fact, this is only the second time in the history of Test cricket that 5 of the top eight batsmen returned to the pavilion on ducks in a Test innings. This has happened for the first time since 1888. Earlier, Australia had made this shameful record against England in Manchester in the year 1888. Then the entire Australian team was all out for 70 runs and 5 of its top 8 batsmen could not even open their account.

New Zealand's solid start

After bundling out India for 46 runs in the first innings, New Zealand scored 180 runs for three wickets on the second day of the rain-hit first Test match. When the second day's play ended due to poor light, Rachin Ravindra was playing with 22 runs and Daryl Mitchell with 14 runs. New Zealand now has a lead of 134 runs. On the second day, R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav got 1 wicket each.
