*Mumbai, Nov 1 (IANS)* - In the ongoing third Test at Wankhede Stadium, Indian bowlers, led by Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar, put on a stellar performance to bowl out New Zealand for 235. Jadeja claimed 5 wickets and Sundar took 4, leaving India with a target within reach. However, India’s batting lineup faltered, ending Day 1 at 86/4.
Key Moments of the Day:
1. **Jadeja’s Five-Wicket Haul**: Jadeja took 5 wickets for 65 runs, marking his 14th five-wicket haul in Tests. He played a key role in dismantling New Zealand's middle order, taking crucial wickets after lunch.
2. **Sundar’s Support**: Washington Sundar supported Jadeja with figures of 4-81. His quick dismissals helped India control New Zealand’s innings early on.
3. **India’s Batting Collapse**: Despite an initial partnership between Yashasvi Jaiswal (30) and Shubman Gill, who was not out at 31, India’s batting crumbled as they lost 3 wickets within 10 minutes. Ajaz Patel’s spin claimed Jaiswal and nightwatchman Siraj, while Virat Kohli was run out, leaving India struggling.
