In one of the most astonishing displays of cricketing prowess, India faced a shocking defeat at home as they were bowled out for a mere 46 runs against New Zealand in Bengaluru. This is not only India's lowest Test score on home soil but also their third-lowest total ever in Test history! The New Zealand pace bowlers, armed with precision and an uncanny ability to exploit overcast conditions, tore through India's batting lineup like a hot knife through butter. One can almost hear the collective gasps from cricket fans around the globe as this monumental collapse unfolded.

As the players walked off the field with heads hung low, the cricketing fraternity couldn't help but reminisce about other infamous low scores in Test history. India’s previous home lows paled in comparison, like 62 against England and the not-so-distant memory of 36 against Australia. This latest debacle sparked a flurry of memes and discussions on social media, where fans expressed disbelief, some even joking that the Indian team might have mistaken the pitch for a minefield! Rain interruptions before the game only added to the mounting drama, leaving viewers eager for the match to unfold once the skies cleared.

In the live score update from Day 2 of the 1st Test, fans were treated to live commentary as the bowling attacks. Whether it was the deliciously deceptive deliveries from the New Zealand pacers or the inexplicable missteps by the Indian batsmen, it was clear that India was in for a long summer. However, cricket has seen its share of comebacks, and nobody is counting out this star-studded Indian lineup just yet. Kohli and his teammates have a chance to turn this calamity into a powerful rallying cry.

Meanwhile, away from the Test match drama, Sussex Cricket announced that Tymal Mills will be awarded a Testimonial Year in 2025, signaling a celebration of his contributions to the sport. This recognition serves as a reminder of how the cricket world is filled with outstanding talents, as players like Jake Fraser-McGurk strive for evolution in their careers, eager to return to the forefront of the game.
