On day two of the first Test match between India and New Zealand, the New Zealand cricket team was dominating, giving the Indian cricket team a difficult time in Bengaluru on Thursday, October 17, 2024. India's batting was mediocre, with players struggling against New Zealand bowlers. The Indian squad performed poorly, scoring just 46 runs and losing as many as ten wickets in only 31.2 overs. Matt Henry and Will O'Rourke were New Zealand's top bowlers, collecting five and four wickets, respectively. This performance placed India at a huge disadvantage in the match, with New Zealand leading by a large margin when their innings began. With the current score and game statistics, New Zealand seems to have acquired the upper hand, while India has a difficult struggle to compete successfully despite having top batters like Rohit Sharma , Virat Kohli , Rishabh Pant , and KL Rahul
