🏏NZ Tour of India 2024: 2nd Test: 24 to 29 Oct 24, Day 3 - Pg 28 🏏 - Page 16

Five wicket haul for Washington Sundar

Maiden 5-fer in Tests

first in all FC cricket since Aug 2022

first in FC cricket on Indian soil since Oct 2017

That was a special day for Washington Sundar, who picked up 7 for 59, and he wasn't even part of the Test squad to start off. NZ were going well, 197 for 3 before he ushered a collapse and NZ lost their last seven wickets for 62, with all of them going to Washington. But NZ did manage to end their day on a high with Tim Southee removing Rohit Sharma with a jaffa. Shubman Gill had a few nervy moments but has survived the day with Jaiswal at the other end. India made it to 16 for 1 at the end of day two still trailing NZ by 243 runs.

Rohit vs Southee in Tests \n8 inngs \n126 balls \n51 runs \n4 dismissals \nAvg 12.75 \n14th instance of Southee dismissing Rohit in all International cricket - the most he has dismissed a batter and the joint most Rohit has fallen to a bowler, alongside Kagiso Rabada

Washington Sundar: The way it came through, fact that I wasn't part of the first Test and I was called for this particular Test and given the opportunity to play in the XI, I was really grateful to the coach and captain. Unbelievable feeling. [What changed after the first session] I wanted to be very accurate no matter what situation I was bowling or which batsman I was coming coming across. It was God's plan, just came through really well. I just focused to hit the particular areas, changed my pace here and there, just really grateful. [Pitch] We genuinely felt it will start spinning from day one. It did spin in the first session but don't think it did a lot in the second. The pitch settled down from the third session, but eventually it did spin. [Fav wicket] Unfair for me to choose one. Certainly Rachin Ravindra because he was batting well. Daryl Mitchell's wicket as well was game changer.

An Adelaide performance where Cheteshwar Pujara refused to get dislodged is up against Shardul Thakur shining with bat and ball in what practically was his Test debut in Brisbane.

Rohit Sharma bas captaincy ke wajah se team mein hai

Captain Ji Hitman Rohit Sharma will play well in 2nd innings

But Ind won't even have to bat for 2nd time as I feel NZ will lose by an innings and 300 runs
