Wriddhiman Saha led India’s lower-order resistance as the hosts chased down 284 runs to reduce New Zealand to 4/1 until stumps were called on the final day of the Kanpur Test. It was a big change for the hosts who were once stammering at 51/5. From that point on, Ajinkya Rahane and his men staged an epic turnaround through two half-centuries. Shreyas Iyer hit another fifty this time in different conditions and scored 65 runs in 125 balls. India’s resurgence really started with Ravichandran Ashwin taking the initiative. He went inside and started attacking Ejaz Patel. He shared a 52-run partnership with Iyer where Centurion played the second fiddle in the first innings. Saha took over after his departure.
