A determined India sparked hopes for a miraculous turnaround with aggressive fifties from Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Sarfaraz Khan. By the end of the third day of the first Test against New Zealand on Friday, October 19, India had reached 231 for three in their second innings at M Chinnaswamy Stadium.

Day four is set to begin soon, and India will look to maintain the same momentum.
On the third day, Kohli (70), who completed 9,000 Test runs during the course of his knock, got out to Glenn Phillips off the last ball of the day, edging him to Tom Blundell, leaving Sarfaraz (70) at the crease at close. The deficit at the end of an overcast day was a less intimidating 125.
India's greatest comeback in Test history came when they overturned a 274-run deficit during the iconic Kolkata Test against Australia in 2001. While replicating such an epic feat is still a long way off, the flicker of hope has been reignited following the day’s batting efforts.
However, with Bangalore's weather being notoriously unpredictable, it’s uncertain whether it will play spoilsport, As the first day of the Test match was washed out.
The second day saw India losing their all wickets on just 46 runs. It is India's lowest team total in India.
