After a washout on the opening day, the toss finally happened in the first Test between India and New Zealand in Bengaluru on Thursday, which saw the home team's captain Rohit Sharma winning it and deciding to bat in overcast conditions. The decision backfired as India's top-order disintegrated in no time.
In the 12.4 overs bowled before the first rain stoppage on Thursday, India lost three wickets for just 13 runs as opener Yashasvi Jaiswal battled to 8 not out in 37 balls while watching his partners fall at the other end, including a stunning catch by Devon Conway at extra cover to send Sarfaraz Khan back for a duck.
