Resuming on 180-3 at a sun-drenched M Chinnaswamy Stadium, the tourists rode Ravindra's century.
Rachin Ravindra smashed a game-changing century as New Zealand posted 402 all out for a substantial first-innings lead of 356 runs over India, who responded by reaching 231-3 at stumps on the third day of the rain-affected opening test on Friday.
He failed to make the most of the reprieve, edging one to wicketkeeper Tom Blundell off Glenn Phillips at the end.The high-scoring day belonged to New Zealand with Ravindra’s knock putting his team in a commanding position. The all-rounder hit 13 fours and four sixes, and forged a 137-run partnership with Southee for the eighth wicket, as the pair heaped more misery on India.
Daryl Mitchell departed for 18 on Friday morning, finding Yashasvi Jaiswal at gully with a careless shot against Mohammed Siraj, while Jasprit Bumrah had Blundell caught at slip by KL Rahul as sustained pressure by the two pacers paid off.
