The second goal against New Zealand was Will Young (18). Ashwin’s ball was caught by keeper Pant. Later, Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway (76) took the scoreboard to 138 runs. It even looked like Lachin and Conway had sorted out the problem, but Ashwin once again became India’s trouble and claimed the third wicket for India.
Bangalore’s best Test player Rachin Ravindra also performed well in Pune and looked like he could score a century but he got caught in the spin of Washington Sundar and scored 65 before getting clean neatly. Lachin was eliminated on 197 runs. After this, New Zealand scored 4 more runs with wicketkeeper-batsman Tom Blundell (3) bowling cleanly after taking 3 runs.
