4 days of play has been completed in the first match of the three-match Test series between the teams of India and New Zealand. The fourth day of the game was very exciting. Team India's dominance was seen for almost two sessions. But by the end of the day's play, New Zealand's bowlers made the team make a comeback. Now on the last day of the game, New Zealand has to chase the target of only 107 runs to win the match. At one time it seemed that Team India would be successful in putting a big total on the board, but then something happened which changed the entire game.

Team India suddenly lost 7 wickets for 54 runs.

Sarfaraz Khan and Rishabh Pant started the day for Team India. Amazing batting was seen from both these players. Starting the day with 231 runs, these two players took the team's score beyond 400 runs. But after this Team India lost all the wickets one after the other. The Indian team got the fourth blow in the form of Sarfaraz Khan, when the team's score was 408 runs. After this the Indian team could leave only 54 runs and was all out for 462 runs.

The match took a turn with the ball changing

Actually, after completion of 80 overs of Team India's innings, New Zealand was given a new bowl, which is a rule of Test cricket. Everything changed in the match only after the change of ball. Indian batsmen could not play the new ball well. When New Zealand got the new ball, Team India had scored 400 runs and lost only 3 wickets. But after this Team India could score only 62 runs with the new ball. Due to which India's second innings was limited to 462 runs and New Zealand got the target of 107 runs to win.

Sarfaraz-Pant played memorable innings

Sarfaraz Ahmed scored 150 runs in this innings, which was also his first century in international cricket. At the same time, Pant was out after playing an inning of 99 runs. This was the 7th time when Pant missed a century after scoring 90 or more runs. During this, there was also a partnership of 177 runs between the two players for the fourth wicket. Now New Zealand has come close to winning the Test match in India for the first time in 36 years. New Zealand won the last Test match in India in 1989 in Mumbai. Then Sir Richard Hadlee played an important role in helping his team win by 136 runs by taking 10 wickets.

Let us tell you, New Zealand had just started chasing the target when the umpires stopped the match during the first over due to bad light. After this it started raining heavily and the day's play was declared over. The team has so far not been able to open its account in its second innings of four balls. Both his opening batsmen Tom Latham and Devon Conway are present at the crease. In such a situation, the result of the match on the 5th day of the game is considered almost certain.
