Yeh finally indian team make a comeback i know it's really hard for them to face such situations but it's tough reality which really realize you how weak are you preparation and thus due to that team git point to work on all those weak zone where they lose grip on the match, anyway for me the upcoming victory credit will goes to pant and gill because they really set momentum and absorb pressure and here they put his team on right track my matching the required and later the phenomenal performance of Indian bowling who really make sure that important victory through majestic deliveries and decent line and length. While now if indian still lose it will be really disappointing but it's clear they will get them easily

I still don't have a complete trust that India will win this match for sure because the pitch is turning and our batting unit is kind of terrible especially Rohit and Kohli so even if the target is 170 kinda thing I feel India might struggle to chase it down.

Only good thing is Washington is evolving, so in the next couple of years he will be read to fit in the shoes of Ashwin and as I already said they need someone like Pujara to grind the innings and don't expect Kohli to does that job which why he is not playing in his natural attitude since all the players around him are kind of stroke makers so team might want Kohli to play defense but it's not his kind of success in this format.

India can win the game, their bowlers did excellent work. When India has lost all their wickets I thought now New Zealand would win this game quite easily and surely give the target of huge runs in the last innings but Indian bowlers have done an excellent job as now the New Zealand team are batting on their last wicket at the score of 171 while the leading score is 143 runs only. Let's see what miracle may happen tomorrow for the Indian team, now we want just a good effort by the Indian team in the last batting pair, they have to score as much as they can. But can they save this match 

The match between India and New Zealand has been stumps for day 02 and at the end of the day we got the result that India has lost at the lead of some runs, They lost  wickets from the start of their innings but only the batsmen who was there who stood strong and who was playing well was Shubman Gill but later in the game he was also out and missed his century by some of the runs but at least he tried his best for the team.
The New Zealand team weren't able to bat well in the 2nd innings and this gave another chance to the Indian team to come back and as this match stand now, India has 99% chance to win this game. What a turnaround by the Indian bowlers who didn't let the New Zealand team bat in their 2nd innings.

Yeah, In first innings India made 263 runs excellent batting by Indian players Shubman Gill played 90 runs innings while Rishabh Pant also scored fifty. New Zealand lost their 9 wickets on just 171 runs New Zealand team could not start their innings very well they were losing wickets frequently which created pressure on them Nobody from New Zealand team played long innings except Will Young he scored fifty. New Zealand lead by 143 runs and second day stumps off Brilliant bowling by Indian bowlers they dominated on ANZ batsmans Indian spinners destroyed their batting line Ravindra Jadeja takes four wickets while Ashwin took two wickets There are 90 percent chances of Indian team to win this match because the target given by New Zealand team was very low

Now time is running out for these legendary players because they are aged and things are not as they have few years back in all formats so better just play in Australia and then leave for better of themselves Virat Kohli is having problems in red ball for long time, but he is still not giving up which is surely not good as sportsman because still he can produce good in white-ball, but he needs to step down from this red ball with Rohit Sharma is also now having same issue and lost against New Zealand is surely worst for these.

After tour of Australia we have tour of England which is also difficult and things could be not as we have in last tour, so better selectors needed to search for new blood and go through in this red ball format for improvement in performance as well.

After losing two test matches and series India surely going to have win in this test match as consolation win which will help them as they are preparing for the big BGT which is going to play in Australia after few days but still now batting is concern for them because we have worst every batting from them in this series while they were facing Kiwi bowlers which are not near in quality of Aussies.



Jadu Jadeja took 9 wickets with good support from the Ashwin and Sunder after end of the two days play New Zealand leading by 143 most chances we will have end of the game before tea in third day play as last man is coming and things are completely favourable for them to took early wicket and complete this series.

India outstanding batting middle order take responsibility and reached india total to 263 runs. New Zealand batting struggling in second inning they loss 9 wickets in just 171 runs and only lead 140 runs. india bowling performance is amazing especially Ravindra Jadeja picked 4 important wickets by just giving 52 runs in second inning and also five wicket haul in first inning. Ravindra Jadeja just need one wicket to complete his ten wickets in this test match. Shubman Gill played a out calssed inning of 90 runs unfortunately missed a well deserved century by 10 runs short but helped indian team to scored lead. India is now favorite to win this test match easily because New Zealand scored a low lead and only one wicket in hand.

Batting meltdown is a big reason but it wasn't the only reason and batting collapse at the top has been happening regularly for quite some time.

IMHO and honestly India's home dominance came to an end because both Ashwin and Jadeja had an off series, especially Ashwin. These 2 stalwarts were the unmoved ingredients in 12 years of home dominance and they were the savior and bailed us out with the bat countless times and with the ball every single time, not this time and it's alright as you can't expect them to carry a team for so long.  

If these 2 guys had a satisfactory series with the bat then the result could've been different, there is an inside joke and meme for a reason that Indian real batting starts at 6th,7th, and 8th numbers.

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli did not make any significant contribution in this Test series but the other two legends especially Ash and Jaddu contributed a lot. Especially in this Test series, Ash and Jaddu showed enough skill in bowling but only due to batting failure, India lost two matches in a row. In today's match too Rohit Sharma and Kohli two legends failed completely but Ash and Jaddu showed great skill in bowling and if India wins this match then the contribution of these two legendary bowlers is undeniable.

I think we'll witness some retirement once the current WTC cycle concludes.

Likes of Jadeja, Ashwin, Rohit and Kohli are the senior players in the team and at least Rohit and Ash might be good contenders for retirement or at best 1-1.5 years of test career left for both these cricketers.  

PS: Washi seems to be doing a more than okay job, which is a positive sign.

India got the lead of more than 30 runs which was not high and everyone was sure, India has chased the trailing score because in the test matches, a 30 score does not contain any value and like this New Zealand has got the lead of more than 140 runs once again. New Zealand was stronger from the start of the series as they have won the back to back two matches against India. The Indian team when they have all their important and pressure handlers players like Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sahrma, Shubmna Gill and many others, these are the nightmares of the other teams but not for New Zealand.

However, there are quite a lot of twists in this match. New Zealand's last pair will start the innings tomorrow and they don't have much lead to defend. India should chase whatever the score they will get, but they will need to bat well in any case.

Ashwin is already crossed 38 with Jadeja is going to cross 36 next month so how much time they have in game most chances we will have them just one more season with Jadeja can stay for few years, but now it's time for Ashwin to give up and try for some other way it's good for him as well.
India is already had few good quality spin bowlers which can give them good results in coming years so looking forward with new talent is much better instead of staying with them because its also part of the game.
In Australia both will be not effective as we have completely different conditions and pitches so now they have to wait for next home series where they can give their best.

They are playing in a bowling friendly pitch. Indian batsmen performance was below average in this series. Where they performed pathetically in the first innings of first test match. The result of this series could have been different if the batting performance of Kohli and Rohit was better in the entire series. Anyway, India is going to win the 3rd test match.

How many more times should Ashwin and Jaddu bail India out of bad situations in the test format? These two have proven yet again as to why they are a legendary duo and I am not looking forward to their retirement from tests at all.

Yeah. Am pretty certain now that India has this one in the bag, but this win is just a consolation prize for them since the Kiwis have the last laugh thanks to their history making series win.

I think Washington Sundar's wicket of David Conway at 22 runs could be a turning point of match. today Indian spinner has made a very impressive comeback in this match, New Zealand's nine-wicket goan at 171 runs, just one wicket away and New Zealand only managed to give a lead of 143 runs so far and one wicket left. its very difficult to scored a fantastic 200-plus runs to India. I also think the credit for this win goes to Shabum Gill and Paint who played a important 116-run partnership despite being out for four wicket goan at 84 and giving India a good lead however Spinner also palyed a dominant rule in 2nd inning.

Clever bowling refers to the pairing of Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin where these two have been one of the main reasons for New Zealand's batting woes. At the moment New Zealand have taken a lead of 143 runs, it is not a big target and there is only one more wicket where a big lead of 150 runs can be achieved. It can be said with great confidence that India will definitely win the final match and there is no chance of a whitewash. The only thing that can be said is India's clever bowling i.e. spin attack has kept India ahead in today's match.

India might be going to win the last Test match of the series. But the Indian bowlers should be given full credit for this win. Indian batsmen batting was very weak and erratic in this series. Bad batting has led India to defeat in every match. Even in the first innings of the third match, we did not see the expected batting from the Indian players.

New Zealand team managed to collect 235 runs in the first innings. In the second innings, he probably won't be able to collect even 200 runs. New Zealand lost the ninth wicket for 171 runs. New Zealand is ahead of India by only 143 runs. Even though the Indian batsmen batting erratically, I don't think a win against India is possible by giving a small target of 150.

India vs New Zealand, 3rd Test is going on and it seems India doing well. In the 1st inngins, India able to stop New Zealand within 235-10 runs where most players failed to collect more runs including openers batsmen. Although Will Young(71) and Daryl Mitchell(82) hold their team leadership tightly in such circumstances as well as gave their best effort to collect more runs with having half century. Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja known as best bowlers, got 4 and 5 wickets respectively. Although in 1st inngins, India unable to score higher runs, New Zealand stopped them in 263-10 runs. Same Situation happened with india too while batting. I means most of players fail to Scored more runs except Rishabh Pant(60) and Shubman Gill(90) , although it's a pity as gill missed his century for just a little more runs but he scored a big amount of runs when his teammates suffer to score. So i really appreciate his effort for his team. Now 2nd innings started and India already makes New Zealand suffer, till now NZ collected 134-6 runs, it has possible due to Indian skillful bowlers. If India can stopped them within 250 runs, then India will have a possibility to win this match although New Zealand already on this series as they already won 2 matches. But It'll be glad for india if they can experience a single win which will be only possible if the win this match

India's performance in the third Test was not good and their players could not perform as expected. The batting style seems to be Mumbai Wankhede Stadium bowling wicket. Meanwhile New Zealand batting disaster occurred in the second innings and their latest collection was 131 runs for 6 wickets. This Test match can be drawn.
