New Zealand bowling attack News
India suffered a rare home series defeat to New Zealand, losing the Pune Test by 113 runs, ending a 12-year winning streak. Criticisms emerged around the Pune pitch and Indian batters.
The black soil typically used for wickets in Pune tends to absorb moisture, leading to lower bounce—a characteristic that can frustrate batsmen while giving bowlers a significant advantage.
As the innings progressed, tensions ran high, particularly for Rohit Sharma. During a pivotal moment when New Zealand's openers, Tom Latham and Devon Conway, were steadily building their partnership, Rohit’s frustration boiled over.
Rohit Sharma’s decision to bat first raised eyebrows, especially given the preceding rain and the pitch’s damp conditions.
Devon Conway’s catch was the kind of athleticism that wins matches. Standing at mid-off, Conway showcased not only his sharp reflexes but also his anticipation and awareness.
