In the ongoing third Test between India and New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, the hosts are back in the hunt and have got the important wicket of Rachin Ravindra. 

In the match, New Zealand put 245 runs on the board in the first innings, and India gained a 23-run lead after putting 268 runs in their first innings courtesy of Shubman Gill's 90-run knock. 

The Kiwis, in the first innings, lost an early wicket, but Devon Conway and Will Young looked solid, but the visitors lost two wickets in quick succession. Conway was the first one to depart, while Rachin Ravindra, who scored a century in the opening Test match of the series, embarrassed himself while attempting to hit R Ashwin down the ground.

On the last ball of the 14th over, Rachin danced down the track to hit Ashwin for a maximum, but late movement resulted in an easy stumping chance for Rishabh Pant behind the stumps.

Ravindra was furious with himself after the dismissal as it was a needless shot and his wicket has now put New Zealand in a spot of trouble. At the time of writing this article, the Kiwis are 50/3 and lead by just 22 runs. 

Ravindra, who started the series on a high, is going through a slump as he has scored just 5 and four in the two innings at Wankhede Stadium. 

It is worth noting that the visitors have already clinched the series 2-0, but this dead rubber match is also crucial as India are eyeing a spot in the WTC finals.
