Ravichandran Ashwin is one of India's biggest match-winners in Test cricket and he is doubly dangerous in Indian conditions. There was lot of criticism when he was under-bowled in the second innings of the first Test, but the off-spinner is back with a bang, and has picked the first three wickets in the second Test. 

Ashwin Brings India Back In The Game

He got Latham first and then Will Young, but Conway and Rachin Ravindra built a good stand and it was again Ashwin who got the better of the Southpaw with a crafty delivery. It was a shortish delivery from 'round the wicket by Ashwin and outside off. It was slower through the air and turned away. However, Conway did not get the middle of his blade as he tried to punch it away. The ball caught the outside edge of his blade and Rishabh Pant behind the stumps grabbed a sharp catch.

It was a big, big wicket for India as Conway was looking set for a big one and was scoring runs at a good rate. Ashwin though has once again shown why he is one of the best in the world and India badly needed a wicket to get back in the game.

Earlier, New Zealand won the toss and decided to bat first and they made one change with Mitchell Santner fitted into the XI in place of Matt Henry. India, on the other hand, have made three changes with KL Rahul, Kuldeep Yadav and Mohammed Siraj out of the XI. It is a must-win game for India to keep the series alive and it promises to be a cracking game with some intense action between two quality sides.
