Rishabh Pant joins Sarfaraz Khan in carnage, Kiwis eye wickets

India vs New Zealand 1st Test, Day 4 LIVE Score: India’s hopes of a comeback in the first Test against New Zealand rest heavily on the shoulders of Sarfaraz Khan. Resuming on 70*, Sarfaraz is eager to build on his half-century and guide India towards a respectable total. As the fourth day of the Test match begins, Rishabh Pant has joined Sarfaraz Khan at the crease. Pant was prepared to bat on Day 3 and is expected to continue the team’s momentum. Following Pant, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, and R Ashwin are likely to be the next batsmen in the batting order.

The hosts’ batting resurgence on Day 3 was largely due to the solid partnership between Sarfaraz and Virat Kohli, who scored 70 before being dismissed in the final over. With India trailing by 125 runs, the match is far from over. The pitch continues to offer batting conditions, and India will be aiming to gain a significant lead and put pressure on New Zealand’s bowlers.
