Bengaluru: There was a huge uproar in the last session of the fourth day of the first Test match between India and New Zealand. When the Indian innings ended on the score of 462 runs in the last session of the fourth day, New Zealand started batting, but the game was stopped in just four balls. Jasprit Bumrah came to bowl the first over for Team India. Bumrah bowled only four balls when the umpire decided to stop the game citing bad light. However, Team India was not at all happy with this. Indian players believed that there was still at least 20 minutes left in the game and the flood lights were also on. In such a situation, the batsman should not face any problem. Because in such a situation the Indian team had batted third in the game. Meanwhile, as soon as the umpire decided to stop the game, New Zealand’s opener batsmen Tom Latham and Devon Conway went back.
Virat-Rohit argued with the umpire
Team India captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were not at all happy with this decision of the umpire. They wanted the game to be completed in the remaining time. However, this protest by Team India was of no use. At some point the game would have started again, but the weather betrayed us. During the conversation with the umpire, the dark, dense clouds in the sky started raining rapidly.
In such a situation, the cover had to be immediately brought on the field and after this the players of Team India went back to the dressing room. In this way, only four balls could be bowled in the fourth innings, on which neither any run was scored nor any wicket fell. In such a situation, if it does not rain now, the play on the fifth day of the first test match will start further.
New Zealand has got the target of 107 runs
In the Bengaluru Test match, Team India had decided to bat first after winning the toss. However, his move backfired. In the first innings, Team India was limited to a score of only 46 runs. In response, New Zealand scored 402 runs and took a lead of 356 runs. However, Team India played brilliantly in its second innings and scored 462 runs.
The Indian team made a strong comeback but could set the target of only 107 runs. In such a situation, it is now a big challenge for the bowlers of Team India that they will have to stop the New Zealand batsman before 106 runs on the last day of the game under any circumstances.
