India Bowled Out For 46 Against New Zealand, Records Lowest Total On Home Soil

IND vs NZ 1st Test, Day 2 Live Score: India faced New Zealand in the first Test of a three-match series at Bengaluru’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium. After a rain-affected Day 1, which saw no play due to continuous downpours, Day 2 began with hopes for a full day’s action, thanks to the venue’s excellent drainage system. India, after winning the toss and choosing to bat, collapsed dramatically, getting bowled out for a mere 46 runs in their first innings—marking their lowest-ever Test total at home. Their previous lowest home score was 75, recorded against West Indies in 1987. The Indian batting lineup faltered in the challenging conditions, lasting just 31.1 overs. Rishabh Pant was the only notable contributor, scoring 20 from 49 balls, while five batters went out for ducks.
