In Pune, India, during the first day of a Test match against New Zealand, wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant found himself in an unexpected situation. While suggesting bowling strategies to Washington Sundar in Hindi, Pant was unaware that New Zealand's Ajaz Patel, who was born in Mumbai, understood the language perfectly. Pant's instructions to Sundar to bowl fuller resulted in Patel hitting a boundary, leading to a sheepish realization for Pant after the incident. Despite this blunder, Sundar showcased exceptional performance, achieving career-best figures of 7 for 59, contributing significantly to India's bowling efforts. The match saw India bowling New Zealand out for 259 runs, with Devon Conway top-scoring with 76 runs, while India ended the day at 16 for 1 after Rohit Sharma was dismissed for a duck.
