India vs New Zealand 1st Test Day 1 Live Score Updates: Shubman Gill Hits Fifty To Propel India In Kanpur | Cricket News
IND vs NZ Test Score Updates: Shubman Gill in action vs New Zealand.© AFP
India vs New Zealand 1st Test, Day 1: Shubman Gill has registered his fourth Test fifty as he leads India’s recovery after the hosts lost Mayank Agarwal early while opting to bat first against New Zealand in the first Test of the two-match series at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur on Thursday. Kyle Jamieson gave New Zealand the first breakthrough with the dismissal of Mayank early in the first session of Day 1. Both the teams have included three specialist spinners each in their playing XIs. Shreyas Iyer is making his Test debut for India in the first game and is likely to bat in the middle-order in the absence of regular skipper Virat Kohli. This is also first Test for Team India under new coach Rahul Dravid where many big names like regular captain Virat Kohli, opening batsman Rohit Sharma, pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami and wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant are missing from the squad. Kohli will join and lead the team in the second Test in Mumbai while Ajinkya Rahane is captaining the side for the first Test. The last time these two sides met in a Test match was back in June this year when the Blackcaps lifted the inaugural World Test Championship trophy. (LIVE SCORECARD)

Ashwin enjoys a great record on home soil, and is likely to surpass Harbhajan Singh (417 wickets) in the list.
