India vs New Zealand testmatch Live cricket

Hyderabad: A reality check awaits Team India as it gears up to begin life without the famed batting duo of Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman when they take on a lowly New Zealand in the first Test of the two-match series starting here from Thursday.

Welcome one and all to the first Test between India and New Zealand from Hyderabad.
India are playing a Test match after a gap of seven months and will look to start this season on a high.

 New Zealand, on the other hand, are coming off a disastrous tour of the West Indies where they were walloped across all formats. On paper, India look the favorites but New Zealand are capable of putting up a fight.

India and New Zealand are also playing in the U-19 semi-final at Townsville. NZ restricted India to 209/9, with left-arm spinner Ben Horne being the pick of the bowlers with 3/28.

Pitch report: It's evenly rolled, but it's very dry, with no grass whatsoever. We expect the pitch to take turn as the Test match progresses. The pitch has a bit of dampness, which will aid faster bowlers initially. With the humidity around, it might swing, but it will be tough conditions for the Kiwis.

1st Test, Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad, India, Thu, 23 - Mon, 27 Aug 2012 09:30 AM IST
India won the toss & elected to bat .

    “Average Student எப்படி Topper ஆகலாம்?”

    “நான் average student தான்…” 😔 இது நிறைய பேரு சொல்லுற sentence. ஆனா ஒரு secret இருக்கு 👇 👉 Topper ஆகுறதுக்கு அதிக புத்திசாலி இருக்க வேண்டியதில்லை. Topper-க்கும் Average student-க்கும் இருக்கும் பெரிய difference என்னனா… ✔️ Daily habits ✔️ Time use ✔️ Focus 🔥 1. தினமும் கொஞ்சம் படிங்க ஒரே நாள் 10 மணி நேரம் படிக்க வேண்டாம் ❌ 👉 தினமும் 2–3 மணி நேரம் regular-ஆ படிங்க. Small effort + daily consistency = Big result 📚✨ 🔥 2. Notes எழுதும் பழக்கம் வைத்துக்கோங்க படிச்சது mind-ல stay ஆகணும்னா… 👉 Short notes எழுதுங்க 👉 Important points underline பண்ணுங்க எழுதுறவங்க அதிகம் நினைவில் வைத்துக்குவாங்க 🖊️ 🔥 3. Mobile Distraction குறைக்கணும் ஒரு நாள் 5 மணி நேரம் mobile use பண்ணிட்டு “எனக்கு mark வரல”ன்னு சொல்ல முடியாது 😅 👉 Study time-ல: Phone silent Social media off 30 min focus + 5 min break 🔥 4. Doubt வந்தா உடனே கேளுங்க பல students mistake என்னனா… ❌ Doubt-ஐ mind-ல வைத்துக்கிட்டு later பார்க்கலாம் னு நினைப்பாங்க அது dangerous ⚠️ 👉 Teacher, friend அல்லது learning apps use பண்ணி உடனே clear ப...

    Indian Olympic medalists

     MY BEST WISHES Since it first participated in Olympic Games in 1900 at Paris, India has won 26 medals. Of these, 9 are gold (8 in field hockey, 1 in shooting); 6 silver (2 in athletics, 1 in field hockey, 2 in shooting and 1 in wrestling); and 11 bronze. Not much to boast about, really, but in a country that has no real, systematic sporting culture it is stirring to see some of its sons and daughters overcome great odds and succeed against the best in the world. What motivates these champions is awesome passion, immense talent, great mental strength and the burning desire to be the best that you can be. So here are India’s Olympic medal winners, who did the country proud and imparted further credibility to an Olympic motto: ‘The essence lies not in the victory, but also in the struggle’ India will return with its best-ever Olympics medal tally from the London Games. If there is anything missing, it is a gold and that has been somewhat made up by two silver medals out of a ...

    SIP Mutual Funds: A Complete Guide to the Best Options

      What is a SIP? A SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) is a method of investing in mutual funds. Instead of investing a large lump sum all at once, you invest a fixed, smaller amount at regular intervals, such as monthly or quarterly. It's similar to a recurring deposit in a bank. For example, instead of investing a lump sum of ₹10,000, you could invest ₹1,000 every month for ten months. Benefits of a SIP Rupee Cost Averaging: Investing through a SIP helps you navigate market volatility. You buy fewer units when the market price is high and more units when the market price is low. Over time, this averages out the cost of your investment. Power of Compounding: By investing consistently over a long period, the returns on your investments are reinvested, generating further returns. This allows your wealth to grow exponentially over time. Financial Discipline: A SIP encourages a disciplined approach to saving and investing by automatically deducting a fixed amount from your bank accou...
