New Zealand pacers brought their team back after having new ball, prior it, India was smooth sailing. KL, Jadeja, Ashwin added little to the scoreboard.
India might have won this match if not for such a terrible batting in the first innings. India managed to collect only 46 runs in the first innings. If India could have collected around 200 in the first innings, the match would have been very competitive.
However, in the second innings, India's top order batsmen batted very responsibly. Especially because of the innings of Sharfaraz and Rishab Pant managed to collect big. But I expected to see better batting from KL Rahul and Jadeja. India could have scored 500+ only if these two batsmen had batted well. If the target was 200+ it would have been difficult for New Zealand to win.
