India wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant on Sunday said there will always be ups and downs in the game but what is important is to "rise stronger every time" after a setback. India suffered a rare defeat at home on Sunday when they went down against New Zealand by eight wickets in the first Test. It was New Zealand's first Test win in India in 36 years. "This game will test your limits, knock you down, lift you up and throw you back again. But those who love it rise stronger every time," wrote Pant on X. The southpaw scored a blazing 99 off 105 balls in India's second innings score of 462. He applauded the Bengaluru crowd for their support and vowed to come back stronger in the second Test in Pune beginning October 24. "Thanks to the amazing Bengaluru crowd for the love, support and cheers. We will be back stronger," he wrote.

Top-order batter Rachin Ravindra was relieved after New Zealand managed to bag the big wicket of Virat Kohli off the final ball of the third day, and hoped the bowlers will keep piling pressure on India on Saturday. Kohli (70) and Sarfaraz Khan (70 not out) added 136 runs for the third wicket to take India to 231 for three at stumps in the opening Test. But the former Indian skipper fell to Glenn Phillips, edging him to stumper Tom Blundell to bring some respite to the visitors. "It's pretty hard to crystal-ball gaze into the future. It's a quality batting line-up on a wicket that's not doing too much, so it's important for us to hold our lines and lengths and do that for long periods. But I think Kohli's wicket at the end was very important," Ravindra told reporters during the post-day press meet. "Obviously, he's a guy who has scored 9,000-plus Test runs, which is pretty mind-blowing, but for us it was a huge wicket. We know things happen quickly in this part of the world, so, ..
Spinners Eden Carson and Amelia Kerr continued their incredible run to put New Zealand in the Women's T20 World Cup final beating West Indies by eight runs here on Friday. The White Ferns, who have been runners-up in 2009 and 2010 editions, will meet South Africa in the final on Sunday and they only have their two tweakers to thank for defending a total of 128 with such aplomb despite the dangerous Deandra Dottin's 33, which included three sixes in the 16th over bowled by Lea Tahuhu. West Indies managed 120/8 in 20 overs and as much as off-spinner Carson (3/29) dented West Indies with early blows, Kerr's (2/14) leg-breaks along with prized wicket of Dottin played her part splendidly. The duo accounted for 20 opposition wickets (Carson's 8 and Kerr's 12) in the tournament and been lethal weapons for New Zealand in the entire tournament. Fittingly, it was Beijing Olympian Suzie Bates, who bowled the final over with 15 needed and gave away only seven runs to seal the issue. Earlier,
Kuldeep Yadav on Friday said the pitch has started offering a bit of turn and placed faith on batters to build a sizeable lead in the second innings for Indian spinners to make an impact. India ended the third day of the first Test at 231 for three, and still trail by 125 runs. The spinners were getting some help when we were bowling, and hopefully, we will get more spin on Day 5. But for that, we need a good total to defend, said Kuldeep in the post-day press meet. Considering our bowling attack, we will be aiming at setting an effective target. We can't predict a proper total right now as a lot of batting is still left for us, he added. Kuldeep hoped Sarfaraz Khan, who is batting on 70, will score some big runs on Saturday. We all saw how he scored 200 during the Irani Trophy. We're hoping that he slams another here. Since he is playing for India, his technique does not matter as long as the runs keep coming. However, he has a good technique against the spinners and doesn't let

Pacer Matt Henry was chuffed to walk back with a five-for on Thursday, but said New Zealand will have to keep India under the cosh for the rest of the first Test to emerge on the right side of the result. Henry and his pace colleague William O'Rourke, who took four wickets, bundled out India for 46, their lowest Test innings total at home on the second day of the first match here. "It's a pretty special achievement to get a fifer in India. They're pretty tough to get, but I think, more importantly, we've put our team in a good position in the Test match. But we can't be complacent and we've got to keep mounting pressure on them," said Henry in the post-day press meet. "We talked about being relentless with the ball, and being patient. I think that was probably something that we looked to do, and thankfully it came off," he added. Henry was absolutely stoked for O'Rourke, his teammate from Canterbury, as he kept India on the ropes throughout their innings. "His height's the X facto
