NEW DELHI: It’s a rare sight when the hunter becomes the hunted. India, known for dominating opponents at home, particularly on spin-friendly, dusty tracks, found themselves at the mercy of Mitchell Santner’s spin.
After bowling New Zealand out for 259 on the turning surface of Pune's Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, India’s batters faltered, collapsing like a house of cards to only 156 runs, conceding a substantial 103-run lead in the second Test. India are already trailing 0-1 in the three-match series after losing the Bengaluru Test by eight wickets.
