Ravindra walked back on 104 off 125 balls while Southee was on 49 off 50. Southee hit three sixes which took him to 91 sixes, equalling Virender Sehwag’s career tally in Test cricket. New Zealand hence finished the session with a lead of 299, their score on 345/7 in 81 runs.
Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah got the early wickets India were searching for on Day 3. Ravindra Jadeja then chipped in with a double strike but Rachin Ravindra has switched gears since then with Tim Southee providing able company. Ravindra got to a half-century with a four and New Zealand’s lead went past 200 shortly after that.
Siraj earlier dismissed Daryl Mitchell in his third over of the day after the latter and Ravindra resumed the New Zealand first innings on Day 3. The visitors led by 134 runs at the end of Day 2, having ended with a score of 180/3 in 50 overs after bundling India out for a record-low score of 46.
New Zealand had almost no trouble easing into the lead, with openers Tom Latham and Devon Conway starting strong. Latham eventually departed for 15 off 49 balls. Meanwhile, Conway built a strong partnership with Will Young, who fell for 33 off 75 balls. Conway missed out on a century, losing his wicket to R Ashwin for 91 off 105 balls.
India were bowled out for 46 in 31.2 overs, with only Yashasvi Jaiswal (13) and Rishabh Pant (20) reaching double figures. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli, Sarfaraz Khan, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin departed for ducks. For New Zealand’s bowling department, Matt Henry took a five-wicket haul, Will O’Rourke bagged four dismissals.
After the final session, Rohit regretted his toss decision during the post-day press conference. India won the toss and opted to bat. “I am hurting a little bit because I made that call. We found ourselves in a situation where we got bowled out for 46 runs. As a captain, it definitely hurts to see that number,” he said.
“So, clearly a misjudgement of the pitch. I did not read the pitch well enough and we sit in this situation. Though in 365 days, you will make two or three bad calls. That is absolutely fine, I guess,” he added.
