5 batsmen out for zero, Team India bundled out for 46, made 5 such records which no one would want to break even in their dreams.

New Delhi. The Indian cricket team could score only 46 runs in the first innings of the Bengaluru Test. The team’s star batsmen returned to the pavilion cheaply. From Virat Kohli to KL Rahul and Sarfaraz Khan were easily forced to succumb to the fast bowlers of New Zealand. New Zealand’s two fast bowlers William Oruke and Matt Henry destroyed the Indian batting line up. Henry took 5 wickets while Oruke took 4 wickets. One wicket went to Tim Southee’s account. All 10 wickets of India were taken by New Zealand’s fast bowlers. During this period, the Indian team made 5 such records in its name which no other team would like to make.

The Indian team has become the lowest scoring team in Asia. Team India has left behind the unwanted record of West Indies, which was defeated by scoring only 53 runs against Pakistan 38 years ago. Pakistan later decided to force West Indies to make this unwanted record. This has also become the lowest score made by Team India on Indian soil by any team. In the Mumbai Test in 2021, the New Zealand team was bowled out for 62 against India but now the same team bowled out India for 46.

India’s lowest Test score on home ground was recorded 37 years ago against West Indies in November 1987 in Delhi. India’s lowest Test score was made four years ago against Australia in Adelaide when the team was out for 36 runs.

This happened after 78 years
This has happened after 78 years in the history of Test cricket when a team has been bundled out on such a low score while batting first after winning the toss. Earlier in 1946, New Zealand won the toss at home in Wellington and came to bat first against Australia and the Kiwis were bundled out for 42 runs.
