Washington Sundar delivered a stellar performance on the first day of the second Test against New Zealand in Pune, taking a career-best 7 for 59 to restrict New Zealand to 259. Devon Conway (76) and Rachin Ravindra (65) provided some resistance, but Sundar, supported by R Ashwin’s 3/64, spun out New Zealand. Sundar’s figures included five bowled dismissals, and Ashwin surpassed Nathan Lyon’s 530 wickets. India ended Day 1 at 16/1, trailing by 243 runs, with Tim Southee removing Rohit Sharma. India is aiming to continue its 18-series home winning streak.
