India Vs New Zealand 2nd Test Match Live Where to watch
India Vs New Zealand’s 2nd Test Match Live from Thursday, October 24, to Monday, October 28. You can watch it live at the Jio cinema and on the Sports 18 network. The match venue is Maharastra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune.
After the dramatic end of the first test in Chennai, despite losing Day 1 to rain, New Zealand is ahead of India, and now it is India’s turn to show the power of the Gambhir lead team. Captain Rohit Sharma read the pitch wrong, and India all out for only 49 runs. New Zealand gave an excellent reply after making 402 runs, but India fought well. Rohit Sharma, 52 runs, got out unluckily. Virat Kohli’s 70 runs got out in the last ball of the day, and after that, Rishab Pant and Sarfaraz Khan stood there and fought very hard, but a batting collapse was seen after Rishab pants wicket; unfortunately, Rishab was out on 99 his 7th time, and Sarfaraz got 150 runs what a knock by him but unfortunately India all out for 462 runs only 106 lead by the Indian team and the target for the New Zealand team was 107. New Zealand won the game very quickly by eight wickets in their hands. It’s a memorable win for the New Zealand team because it’s their first win since 1988 in Indian Soil.
Rachin Ravindra, the left-handed batsman who scored a beautiful hundred in the first innings, was awarded man of the match.

Pitch Report
It is a decent track for batting, but spinners will shine after the ball loses its shine. This Venue’s highest score was 601/5, which made my India in 2019 versus South Africa, and skipper Virat Kohli made an outstanding knock of 254*. We all hope that Virat will play great in the India Vs. New Zealand 2nd Test Match, and the rest of the pitch report will be seen tomorrow.
