After the early breakthrough by Akash Deep, India found little to no success as skipper Tom Latham and Will Young forged an attacking partnership to push India on the back-foot. The duo added quick runs as India were in desperate need of a wicket.

This is when the hero of the Pune Test, Washington Sundar raised his hands and delivered a mind-boggling delivery to knock Latham's stumps. Latham has been India's nemesis in this series and he once again looked dangerous as the southpaw looked comfortable against the Indian bowlers.

However, a moment of brilliance from Sundar ended his stay at the crease. He bowled an off-break which pitched on the middle stump and it drifted away sharply to take the off-stump out. Latham prodded forward for a defensive shot, but the ball zipped away sharply as the Kiwi skipper had no answer for it. 

He made full use of the conditions and bowled a ripper as Latham looked shell-shocked and rightly so.

Sundar weaves his magic to dismiss Ravindra

Not only Latham, but Sundar bowled a magical delivery to dismiss Rachin Ravindra as well. He bowled almost an identical delivery as the left-handed batter couldn't read the line and his stumps got uprooted.

The two wickets were crucial as it brought India back in the contest after an aggressive start bt the Kiwi batters, Latham and Young. Earlier, Akash Deep drew the first blood by dismissing Devon Conway cheaply. The Bengal pacer has been on a hot spring as he made the most of the early morning conditions to trap the attacking batter.
