The first Test match between India and New Zealand saw India facing a significant challenge as they trailed by 125 runs at the end of the day's play. The Indian team struggled to keep pace with the New Zealand batsmen, and their hopes of a strong comeback were dashed by the fall of key wickets, including the dismissal of Virat Kohli on the last ball of the day. Despite the setback, Kohli achieved a significant milestone, becoming the fourth Indian batsman to cross 9,000 runs in Test cricket.
Kohli's achievement is a testament to his consistency and brilliance in the longest format of the game. He has been a pillar of strength for the Indian team for years, and his contribution to the team's success is undeniable. His dismissal on the last ball of the day, however, serves as a reminder that even the best players can be vulnerable. As the match progresses, it will be interesting to see how India responds to this challenge and whether they can close the gap and fight their way back into the match.
