However, the fans were in for a thriller as Bracewell pulled off a massive heist, adding 57 runs with Mitchell Santner before the likes of Mohammed Siraj, Kuldeep Yadav and Shardul Thakur came to India’s rescue.
Siraj took four wickets, while Kuldeep and Shardul also took two wickets each.
It proved to be an eventful match as Gill scored a double century, Hardik Pandya was dismissed for a questionable call from the third umpire, while Sunil Gavaskar criticized Ishan Kishan for his antics against Tom Latham. .
The New Zealand captain appeared to bite the bails when Hardik was batting, and a similar incident later occurred when Gill was batting, although the umpire later declared him not out.
In the second innings, Kishan tried to give Latham a taste of his own medicine as the Indian wicket-keeper dropped the bails off Kuldeep Yadav in the 16th over.
After replays, it was given not out, but Sunil Gavaskar was having none of it as he appealed to Kishan to be joking.
Coming back to Pandya’s dismissal, former Indian opener Wasim Jaffer criticized the decision to give the all-rounder out even as the bails appeared to lighten only after Latham clipped him.
Jaffer took to Twitter and claimed that Pandya was robbed, sharing that there was clear daylight between the ball and the bails and the bails fell down only after the New Zealand skipper brushed his gloves.
Pandya’s wife Natasa Stankovic was also flabbergasted at the dismissal, and it will be interesting to see how this develops.
