Rachin Ravindra’s important partnership with Tim Southee:
Although Ravindra stole the show, his collaboration with Tim Southee was just as important in shifting the balance of power to New Zealand’s advantage. When India gained the upper hand, the two joined forces, but their intention to attack before lunch changed the tide.
They piled pressure on the hosts by putting on the second-fastest century stand in Test cricket against India. Southee, who is renowned for his lower-order hitting, provided reinforcement to Ravindra’s excellent play on the other end. By working together, they were able to stifle India’s bowling attack and guarantee that New Zealand took control of the first session’s conclusion.
