New Delhi Nothing is going well for the Indian team in the Bangalore Test. The entire Indian team was out on the first 46 runs and returned to the pavilion and after that, when New Zealand started batting on the same pitch, the Indian bowlers could not make any impact. The result was that the frustration of the Indian bowlers became visible. In just fourteen overs, Kiwi team completed fifty runs in which Conway had a big contribution.
Devon Conway, who came to start the innings, looked very aggressive especially against the Indian fast bowlers. Conway's intentions were clear against both the bowlers Siraj and Bumrah. He knew that Team India did not have a third seamer and that is why he was not leaving any chance to play big shots. When the team crossed the 50 mark in 14 overs, Conway had contributed 42 runs in 46 balls.
New Zealand's grip on the match was getting stronger and the Indian bowlers were slowly losing their cool. When Conway hit a four on the fourth ball of Siraj, who came to bowl the 14th over, the matter became heated. Siraj was not able to swallow that on a pitch where it is difficult to bat, someone should come on the front foot and hit him with continuous drives. Then what happened after hitting a four, when Siraj bowled the fifth ball on the right line, Conway defended it with respect but Siraj said that he was going to stop, he went near Conway and glared at him fiercely. Even on the sixth ball, Conway defended the ball and while picking up the ball in the follow through, Siraj said something to provoke Conway. However, then the over was over and Siraj went to his fielding place.
