1st Test: Rohit And Jaiswal Keep India Steady After New Zealand Take 356-run Lead
Captain Rohit Sharma: Captain Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal kept India steady to reach 57/0 in 15 overs at tea after New Zealand took a 356-run first-innings lead on day three of first Test at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Friday.
Jaiswal (29 not out) and Rohit (27 not out) have ensured India got a decent start to its second innings after being 46 all out in first innings. But with clouds looming around and inconsistent bounce on offer, they need to keep going in the final session and get themselves back in the match.
Compared to being tentative in the first innings, Rohit cut a more assured figure in flicking Matt Henry for two leg-side boundaries. After he and Jaiswal took a boundary off edges, Rohit welcomed Ajaz Patel with a four, followed by Jaiswal piercing the gaps with his cuts and drives to get four boundaries before tea break arrived.
