IND vs NZ 1st Test: India Records Lowest Test Score in Asia, 5 Ducks, All Out for 46; Kohli’s 38th Zero – Top Records

IND vs NZ 1st Test: Rohit and company collapsed for just 46 runs in the first Test against New Zealand, marking India's lowest score in 293 home Tests. Five Indian batsmen, including Virat Kohli and KL Rahul, were dismissed for ducks. This disastrous performance also led to five unwanted records, a nightmare for any future captain.

IND vs NZ 1st Test: The Indian cricket team could score just 46 runs in the first innings of the Bengaluru Test. This is India’s lowest Test score on home ground. Also, this is the lowest Test score of any team in Asia. Earlier in 1986, West Indies had scored 53 runs against Pakistan in Faisalabad. Whereas, in 2002, Pakistan had scored 53 runs against Australia in Sharjah.

The star batsmen of the team returned to the pavilion cheaply. From Virat Kohli to KL Rahul and Sarfaraz Khan, all were forced to easily kneel in front of New Zealand’s fast bowlers. New Zealand’s two fast bowlers Williamon Oruake and Matt Henry destroyed the Indian batting line-up. Henry took 5 wickets while Oruake took 4 wickets. Tim Southee took one wicket. All 10 wickets of India were taken by New Zealand’s fast bowlers. During this, the Indian team made 5 such records which no team would want to make.

The Indian team has become the team to score the lowest score in Asia. Team India has left behind the unwanted record of West Indies which was all out for just 53 runs against Pakistan 38 years ago. Pakistan later forced the Windies to make this unwanted record. This has also become the lowest score made by Team India on Indian soil. In the Mumbai Test in 2021, the New Zealand team was all out for 62 against India, but now the same team has bowled out India for 46.

This has happened after 78 years

This has happened after 78 years in the history of Test cricket when a team has won the toss and batted first and collapsed on such a low score. Earlier in 1946, New Zealand won the toss and batted first against Australia in Wellington at home and the Kiwi team collapsed on 42 runs.

In the Indian innings, five batsmen including Virat Kohli got out on zero. Kohli got out without opening his account for the 38th time in his career.

Let’s know the top records of the second day’s game…
