IND vs NZ commentators 2021: Full list of Star Sports commentators for India vs New Zealand Tests

IND vs NZ commentators 2021: The SportsRush present before you a list of Star Sports commentators for India vs New Zealand Tests.

During the first day of the first Test of the ongoing New Zealand’s tour of India in Kanpur, India finished the day on 258/4 in 84 overs after captain Ajinkya Rahane (35) won the toss and chose to bat.

Debutant batter Shreyas Iyer was the pinnacle of Indian batting scoring 75* (136) with the help of seven fours and two sixes before returning to the pavilion unbeaten at Stumps. Walking in at No. 5 as Rahane’s replacement in the 38th over, Iyer looked a tad bit nervous initially. Having said that, it was in no time that the right-handed batter took control of a difficult situation at the Green Park.

All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, who has developed a knack of contributing with the bat in this format, scored his 17th half-century as his 50* (100) comprising of six fours played a vital role in an unbeaten 113-run partnership for the fifth wicket.

Playing his first Test in Asia, all-rounder Kyle Jamieson was the pick of the bowlers for the visitors on Day 1 on the back of bowling figures of 15.2-6-47-3. With Tim Southee picking the remaining wicket today, New Zealand might be wondering whether they should’ve played an extra fast bowler in Neil Wagner in this match.
