India vs New Zealand (IND vs NZ) Live Score, 1st Test Match Today: Day 1 of the first Test between India and New Zealand has been called off due to rain at the M Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru on Wednesday. The weather does not look promising either for the remainder of the Test match.
If the game were to begin on Day 2 the spotlight will firmly be on veterans Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, both of whom didn’t exactly set the world on fire in the Bangladesh series, failing to score a half century in 4 innings. While youngsters such as Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant had impressive showings against Bangladesh, it was the bowlers and allrounders who took the plaudits.
Ravichandran Ashwin’s heroics in the 1st Test against the Bangla Tigers and Jasprit Bumrah’s express pace over the two Tests massacred the visitors, something which the New Zealand side minus their talisman Kane Williamson, will have to contend with.
