The video below shows Ravichandran Ashwin bowling the most exciting ball of the day to dismiss Devon Conway.


The Kiwi opener looked to play on a paradise of a pitch as he turned the excitement and shifted his gears on the same Chinnaswamy track where India suffered a huge blow with the bat. Conway opened the inning with skipper Latham.

Latham didn’t get the best of starts, but Devon Conway declared himself with a stride as the left-hander scored quick runs.

He also brought his fifty with a huge six, as he swept off Indian spinner Ravi Ashwin for a huge six over mid-wicket.

India’s current highest and second-highest wicket-taker for India in the history of red-ball cricket, Ravi Ashwin, though, didn’t go well in his first spell but backed himself when he clean bowled Devon Conway for 91 runs in his second spell. The latter looked to reverse sweep but had his stumps rattled.

The Indian national men’s side are currently playing their first game in the final home series against New Zealand.

The first day of the match was washed out owing to the overcast conditions at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

The iconic stadium is mostly known for its flat tracks and healthy pitches to score large amount of runs. However, as play commenced on Day 2, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma, who won the toss, elected to bat first.

Skipper Sharma along with young sensation Jaiswal opened the innings for India. Rohit was the first wicket to fall when New Zealand’s former skipper and their all-time highest wicket-taker, Tim Southee cleaned up the Indian skipper.

This created a stir in the stands, as Virat Kohli followed in at no. 3. He was dismissed for a duck. After that, veteran batter Sarfaraz Khan, KL Rahul, and Ravindra Jadeja were all dismissed for successive ducks.

Rishabh Pant emerged as the pick of the batters with 20 runs, while India were bowled out for just 46 runs.

This is the lowest score ever by any team in home conditions, while also India made a record to be the only full-member test-playing nation in the WTC to have registered below-50 totals in the history of the competition.

New Zealand batted in a far better manner as they scored 180/3 after playing 50 overs since Lunch on Day 2.

Devon Conway was their best batter on the day with 91 runs to his name. New Zealand, at the end of day 2, lead by 134 runs with Rachin Ravindra and Daryl Mitchell at the crease.
