New Delhi. Captain Rohit Sharma's statement came after the Indian team collapsed for 46 runs in the first innings of the Bengaluru Test. Rohit says that he decided to bat first after winning the toss. He said that he was also sad to see the team collapsing for a minimum score of 46 runs on the second day. In the first innings, except Rishabh Pant and Yashasvi Jaiswal, no batsman could touch the double-digit mark. A total of 5 batsmen including Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Sarfaraz Khan, and Ravindra Jadeja could not even open their account.

After the first day's play was canceled due to rain, Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bat first on the second day. India's innings was reduced to 31.2 overs. Rohit said in the press conference after the second day's play, 'As a captain, I am sad to see the score of 46 runs. Because the decision to bat first was mine. But one or two bad decisions happen in a year.' Earlier, the lowest Test score of the team in India was 75 runs, which was made against West Indies in Delhi in 1987.

New Zealand took a lead of 134 runs on the second day.
After bundling out India for a record 46 runs on the strength of fast bowlers, New Zealand scored 180 runs for 3 wickets in the first innings with the help of Devon Conway's 91 runs. Daryl Mitchell is at the crease with 14 runs and Rachin Ravindra with 22 runs. New Zealand has a lead of 134 runs. Earlier, based on excellent bowling by Matt Henry (15/5) and William O'Rooke (22/4), New Zealand tore apart the Indian batting.
