Despite a strong performance from the bowlers, the Indian batting lineup struggled yet again, ending day one of the third Test against New Zealand at 86/4. With losses in the previous two Tests, the Indian team is facing the possibility of a 3-0 series defeat. Left-arm spinner Jadeja led the bowling attack with a fifer, but the Indian batters, including captain Rohit Sharma and star player Virat Kohli, fell victim to misfortune and poor timing. However, there is still hope for India as Washington Sundar's four wickets helped restrict New Zealand to 235 runs in their first innings.
