1st Test: Rachin's 134 Helps NZ Take 356-run Lead Over India
Rachin Ravindra: An excellent 134 from Rachin Ravindra – his second Test century - helped New Zealand take a lead of 356 runs against India after ending their first innings at 402 in 91.3 overs. For India, Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav took three wickets each, with onus now on their batters to save the hosts’ from a potential innings defeat.
Ravindra dazzled to hit 13 fours and four sixes in his 157-ball knock, yielding his second international hundred in Bengaluru, the city of his family’s origin. He also added a crucial 137 runs for the eighth wicket with Tim Southee, who hit 65 off 73 balls. It’s now the joint-highest eighth wicket partnership for New Zealand in Tests against India.
Resuming from 180/3, Ravindra overcame the initial loss of New Zealand losing four wickets to showcase his exceptional handling of Indian spinners by picking lengths early to play shots on front foot, back foot and down the ground, while using depth of crease well.
