Vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane held one end as India found themselves struggling on the opening day of the first Test against New Zealand at the Basin Reserve on Friday.
At Stumps which the umpires were forced to call early after rains washed out the entire last session, India were 122/5 with Rahane and Rishabh Pant batting on 38 and 10, respectively.
Earlier, after being put into bat in rather difficult circumstances, which included overcast conditions and a fairly green track, the visitors didn”t have a great start as they lost young opener Prithvi Shaw quite early.
