Ind vs NZ 3rd Test, Day 1: Twitter reactions 1

An unbeaten partnership of 167 runs for the fourth wicket between Virat Kohli(103) and Ajinkya Rahane (79) took India to a strong position after the end of first day’s play of the last and the third Test against New Zealand at Indore.

Earlier, Virat Kohli won the toss and decided to bat first. However, Indian openers could not take advantage of a good batting pitch as Murali Vijay was dismissed with only 26 runs on the board. Gautam Gambhir, who returned to action after a two-year hiatus was looking good but his promising innings of 29 came to an end, when he was trapped in front of the wicket by Trent Boult. The hosts were in a spot of bother after losing three wickets with only 100 runs on the board. But then Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane batted brilliantly to take India to a commanding position in the match and took a big step in their pursuit of whitewashing the Kiwis. Virat Kohli scored his 13th Test century while Ajinkya Rahane scored his 10th half-century. The hosts finished the day on 267 for 3.
