While there was air of invincibility about Team India at home, particulary in Test matches, it now seems to be a thing of the past. New Zealand have beaten India in India in a Test series. They have gone 2-0 up in a three-match series. India are under pressure and their senior batters Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma would be feeling the heat especially Kohli who has had bit if a lean patch now in red-ball cricket, judging by his own high standards.
Kohli looked good while he was out in the middle in the final innings of the Pune Test as India faced an uphill task of chasing 359 runs. However, Mitchell Santner, who rattled Kohli's stumps with a full toss in the first innings, found a way to got him twice in the match with a ball that thrashed his pads and did enough to be out on 'umpire's call.' While looked in disbelief as he walked out, a new video now shows him hitting the water boxes in frustration on his way back to the dressing room.
