IND vs NZ: Watch - Ravichandran Ashwin tries to the review after being clean bowled by Ajaz Patel
They made a few changes in the squad by adding Jayant Yadav and Mohammed Siraj in place of Ishant Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane and Ravindra Jadeja. The visiting side, New Zealand also made a few changes after their skipper Kane Williamson has been ruled out of the second Test against India.
Talking about the first day of the match, Mayank Agarwal and Shubman Gill opened the innings for India and provided the start that they expected from them. Both the openers smashed the bowlers all around the park with Shubman Gill who was looked very dangerous at the moment.
Ajaz Patel getting back to back wickets for New Zealand:
Ajaz Patel provided the first breakthrough for New Zealand by sending back Shubman Gill after scoring 44 runs for his team. Following that, the latter also picked the "Nightwatchmen" Cheteshwar Pujara for a duck.
The match looked more exciting when Ajaz Patel removed the Indian skipper Virat Kohli before he opens his account. It was a close one as umpires had no clues and asked Virat Kohli to go back to the dressing room. Then Shreyas Iyer who looked well in the first Test had been decent with the bat in this game.
The right-handed batsman went on to score 18 runs before being dismissed by Ajaz Patel. After the wicket of Shreyas Iyer, Wriddhiman Saha joined with Mayank Agarwal who was fighting alone at one end for the side.
On the second day of the match, Ajaz Patel and Mayank Agarwal were keeping their side on track. Mayank Agarwal is going to reach his 150 whereas Ajaz Patel has scalped 6 wickets for his side. Moreover, Ravichandran Ashwin hilariously tried to take a review after being bowled by Ajaz Patel.

Surely India lose a review with Ashwin reviewing being bowled. If your unsure of why your out you consult your partner not be given a hint by the umpire. #INDvzNZ

#INDvzNZ @ashwinravi99 is trigger happy with his DRS reviews, even while batting - he is probably the first one to review a 'clean bowled'!
