In the ongoing India vs. New Zealand 3rd Test match, India lost four quick wickets and are in huge trouble. The Kiwi bowlers are in solid form as they have managed to keep the Indian batting attack under pressure in the entire series. Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal looked solid in the match but was dismissed by Azaj Patel while playing a reverse sweep.
The wicket left India's head coach, Gautam Gambhir, frustrated as the camera faced him. He used some swear words and then covered his mouth out of anger. He was extremely disappointed with the batter's shot as it was completely unnecessary at the moment, considering the situation. Jaiswal predicted the ball wrong and made way for it to travel to the stumps. The batter was shocked after seeing the dismantled stumps.

As the day came to an end, India lost four wickets. After Jaiswal's wicket, management sent Mohammed Siraj as night-watchman, but he was dismissed on the first ball. Then walked in Virat Kohli, who went out cheaply on four runs. He hit a beautiful boundary on the previous ball, but a wrong calculation in the next ball led him to the pavilion. India lost three quick wickets in no time, leaving the Test match hanging once again.
Azaj Patel to New Zealand's rescue
As Mitchell Santner was out of the game due to an injury, Azaj Patel decided to take charge of the team. He came into the attack and took two quick wickets. At stumps, India were 86-4 with all good batters back into the pavilion. Patel's magical bowling left the Indian batters stranded in the middle of the game.
There are four more days left, and with this condition, India are going towards another upset. No team has whitewashed India in their own background in the game's history, and it looks like the streak will break soon. The Men in Blue need a solid partnership from the batters to win the game since New Zealand have scored 234 runs in the first innings.
