21 October at 2:29 pm
India lost the first Test against New Zealand by 8 wickets. In the first innings, India was all out for just 46 runs. However, in the second innings, they did much better, scoring 462 runs, but it was not enough to stop New Zealand from winning. Rishabh Pant, one of India's important players, didn't do well in the first innings, scoring only 20 runs. But in the second innings, he played a great knock of 99 runs, helping India fight back. Even though Pant tried hard, New Zealand chased the target successfully. Now, there are worries about Pant’s fitness for the second Test in Pune. He got a small injury during the first match, and it's not clear if he will be able to play in the next game. The team doctors are watching him, and they will decide before the match whether he can play or not. Fans hope he will be fit, especially after his great performance in the second innings. India will need to improve in the next match, especially after their poor first innings. If Pant can't play, it will be tough for India, but they still have other strong players who can help the team bounce back.
