The second Test between india and new zealand is underway at the pune Stadium. The new zealand team won the toss in this match. The team chose to bat. Also, the team is fielding with three spinners. This is the first blow for the indian team. This is a setback for the indian team as the pitch of the pune ground will be favorable for batting on the first day. Also, it is noteworthy that the new zealand team will be able to dominate the bowling from the third day as they have more spinners. Speaking about the loss of the toss, indian team captain rohit sharma pointed out that he also wanted to choose to bat first.
"We realize how important the first ten overs are as the pitch dries up," said Rohit Sharma. It is noteworthy that if the indian team loses in this match, they will lose this series. Therefore, it is important to take the wickets of the new zealand team batting first on the first day. If new zealand bats till the second day, they will score big. So, the indian team should focus more on bowling. That's why rohit sharma mentioned the first 10 overs. The plan of the indian team is that if they lose 2-3 wickets, then they can put pressure on the new zealand team and take 10 wickets.
