, with New Zealand winning the toss and opting to bat first on a spin-friendly pitch in Pune.
New Zealand started strong in their first innings but faced setbacks due to India's spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who took two crucial wickets by lunchtime on the first day. New Zealand reached 92-2 at the break. Ashwin dismissed New Zealand captain Tom Latham, who was trapped lbw for 15.

Ashwin also claimed the wicket of Will Young, who was caught behind for 18 after India reviewed the initial not-out decision.
Sarfaraz Khan, stationed at short leg, was adamant about a sound he heard when the ball supposedly knicked Young's glove. He urged, "Rohit bhai mere par bharosa rakho, ball lagi hai, review lo," convincing the team to opt for a review that proved successful.
