India vs New Zealand 2nd Test, Day 1 Live: Due to the wet outfield at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, the toss and start of play on Day 1 of the second Test match have been delayed on Friday. Before the start of the match, the BCCI has said that three players from the last game- stand-in skipper Ajinkya Rahane, all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja and pacer Ishant Sharma will not be the part of the Mumbai Test as they are out with injury. While for New Zealand their skipper Kane Williamson will not be the part of the team for this game due to elbow injury. The two-match series stands level at 0-0 after the first Test ended in a draw. India’s regular skipper Virat Kohli, who had taken a break from the T20I series and the first Test, will lead Team India in the final Test starting Friday. Kohli’s return has also left the team management in a dilemma to decide on whom to replace to fit the skipper back in the middle-order as Shreyas Iyer smashed a ton on his Test debut in Kanpur. Apart from team selection, the weather in Mumbai also remains one of the most talked-about subjects ahead of the start of the game. It has been raining in Mumbai for the last two days and teams were forced to train indoors on Thursday. (IND vs NZ LIVE SCORECARD 2nd Test Day 1)
