When the rain stopped on the second day of the Bengaluru Test, the game started but after this the New Zealand bowlers started bowling dangerous balls. New Zealand bowled the first 10 overs so well that Team India was in bad shape and its fans had to see such a day after 18 years. Team India scored only 12 runs in the first 10 overs of the Bengaluru Test and 3 wickets also fell. This is Team India's lowest score in the first 10 overs at home in the last 18 years. Earlier in the year 2006, against England in Nagpur, only 10 runs were scored in the first 10 overs and one wicket fell. Meaning, this is the second time in the last 23 years that such a bad situation has happened to Team India at home.

Team India's top order collapses

In the first innings of the Bengaluru Test, three top batsmen of Team India were out in the first 10 overs. Captain Rohit Sharma's wicket came first. He was bowled by Tim Southee after scoring 2 runs. After this Virat Kohli gave his wicket to William O'Rourke. Virat could not even open an account. After this, the same situation happened with Sarfaraz Khan. Sarfaraz Khan, who scored a double century in the Irani Cup, was out on the third ball without opening his account. His wicket was taken by Matt Henry.

How did the condition of Team India become so bad?

Now the question is, how did the condition of Team India become so bad? Did the Indian batsmen play bad shots or did the New Zealand bowlers bowl brilliantly? Well, the truth is that the pitch played a very important role in this. It was raining in Bengaluru for the last two days and the pitch was covered with covers. Despite this, Team India won the toss and chose to bat first. The bowlers benefited from the moisture of the pitch and got extra bounce. After this, New Zealand's fast bowlers adjusted their length and attacked Team India with short balls and as a result New Zealand destroyed the top order.
