Team India suffered a shocking eight-wicket defeat against New Zealand in the first Test in Bengaluru on Sunday. It was a dominating show from the Kiwis, who blew away Rohit Sharma and co in all the departments. In the chase of 107 on Day 5, the visitors faced an early setback as they lost the wicket of their skipper Tom Latham for duck. However, the partnership between Will Young (48*) and Rachin Ravindra (39*) propelled New Zealand to a comfortable win. With this win, New Zealand also gained 1-0 lead in the three-match series.

Talking about his performance, Kohli scored a nine-ball-duck in the first innings against New Zealand. However, he bounced back in the second one and hammered 70 runs off 102 balls.
For the second Test in Pune, Team India has added all-rounder Washington Sundar in the 16-member squad.
However, the question still remains over the participation of wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant, who picked up an injury during the first Test and did not keep the wickets. He did come out to bat on Day 4 and scored 99 runs.
