India on the verge of loosing 2nd test against New Zealand with 90-6 in 2nd innings on day 2 stumps


After day 2 stumps, India has compiled 90 runs after a loss of 6 wickets in his second innings. Now India has total lead of 97 runs with the 1st innings lead of 7 runs This is really a very poor performance from India. It again raises the popular question of debate that Indian team is reluctant to perform overseas.

 This is also a tour for Virat Kohli which he would want to forget. He was clueless and helpless. He has total of 38 runs in 4 innings of 2 test matches with an average of 9.50. He last gave this kind of performance against England in England in 2014. Infact all the top batsman of Indian team lineup are finding it difficult to play the swinging deliveries there. Cheteshwar pujara is trying to apply himself. Also Prithvi shaw and Hanuma Vihari showed some application but they have to play as a team and every player should give some contribution no matter if it is 25-30 odd runs. This way pressure will not be on one player and they can give their best. We cannot become world best test team and cannot win test championship if we continue to play the way we are playing.

Some of the decisions of team selection are also questionable that in form KL Rahul is sitting outside. Classy player like him can be very handy in these kind of situations the way he bats. 
Our bowling department is also not doing great. Our best bowler Jaspreet Bumrah is also not getting wickets from the time he made come back though he gets 3 wickets today in second innings.

New Zealand team is using his conditions in best way for there benefits. They are not giving any loose deliveries so that no batsman can get chances. Especially Boult is bowling brilliantly.

I think the difference in both the team is in there mindset. India had already lost in their mind that deliveries are unplayable. They have to play as a team and give small small contributions if not big. One man can't win you a test match.  They have to fight hard to at least save this match from loosing if not winning.
