The exciting first match of the India vs New Zealand Test series ended in a draw. Despite India’s high hopes of victory in the final over, the visitors’ resistance at the last wicket denied India victory. The loss of valuable points at the plate was a major setback for India.

On the fifth day of the match, KS Bharat, who came in as the keeper in Saha’s replacement, was applauded by the fans. Fans were stunned by the stumping of Ashwin’s delivery trying to get Taylor out. In the style of Dhoni, Bharat Taylor’s wicket was weighed by the stumps within seconds. Taylor eventually escaped without making a slight difference. Bharath’s keeping prowess was praised, including by commentators.

Rahul Dravid | Dravid’s gift to ground staff for pitching in Kanpur Test

Indian coach Rahul Dravid has rewarded the ground staff who pitched for the Kanpur Test between India and New Zealand. Members of the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association said at a post-match press conference that Dravid had given a cash prize of Rs 35,000 to the ground staff at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur.

In Kanpur, curator Shiv Kumar and his team prepared a sporting wicket that did not make any significant difference for five days, supporting both the batsmen and the bowlers alike. Apart from the fact that the balls often did not get the expected bounce from the wicket, the pitch at Kanpur was supported by both the batsmen and the bowlers alike. Shreyas Iyer, Wriddhiman Saha, Tom Latham and Will Young were the brightest batsmen in both the teams. They have proven that batting patiently on the pitch will pay off.

In bowling, spinners and pacers benefit equally from the pitch. While the Indian spinners dominated the Kiwis, the Kiwis had the upper hand. The Kiwis took 17 of 19 wickets in two innings, while the Indian spinners took 14 of the 17 wickets taken by Kiwis pacers Kyle Jaimison and Tim Southee. The quality of the pitch was evident in the fact that even on the fifth day, when batting was generally difficult, the spinners did not search the ball too much.
