As India prepares to face New Zealand in the second Test of their three-match series, cricket fans are buzzing with anticipation. The match will take place at the Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) Stadium in Pune from October 24 to 28, with each day’s play starting at 9:30 AM IST.

New Zealand, on the other hand, is riding high after securing their first Test victory on Indian soil in 36 years, having won the opener by eight wickets in Bengaluru. This victory has set the tone for the series, and the Kiwis will look to capitalise on their momentum to take an unassailable lead.
