The last match of the Test series is being played between the teams of India and New Zealand at the historic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The first day of this match was in the name of New Zealand team. Team India had started the match very well. By the end of the day’s play, the Indian team was in a strong position. But something happened in the last 15 minutes of the game due to which the Indian team was on the back foot. During this innings, Gautam Gambhir also took a big decision to save the wicket of Virat Kohli, but this decision further increased the tension of the team.
Gambhir’s decision landed Team India in trouble
By the end of the first day’s play, Team India had scored 86 runs at the loss of 4 wickets in its first innings. At one time Team India’s score was 1 wicket for 78 runs and it seemed to be in a good position. Then the Indian team got the second blow in the form of Yashasvi Jaiswal. In such a situation, Virat Kohli had to come to the crease, because he plays at number four in Tests. But there was still some time left for the day’s play to end. Due to which it was decided to send Mohammad Siraj as night watchman in place of Virat.
It was Team India’s innings to send Mohammad Siraj as a night watchman. He was out LBW on the very first ball. Not only this, Mohammad Siraj also used review, which went against Team India.
