<p>Indian captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and chose to bat on Thursday at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, but New Zealand&#39;s fast bowlers proved Rohit&#39;s decision wrong. Indian batsmen failed to establish themselves in the swing and bouncy pitch.</p>

<p>Rishabh Pant scored the highest 20 runs, while Yashasvi Jaiswal could score only 13 runs. Captain Rohit Sharma (2 runs) was bowled by Tim Southee. Virat Kohli, Sarfaraz Khan, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin could not even open the account. Matt Henry took 5 wickets, while William O&#39;Rourke got 4 wickets.</p>

India-New Zealand first test- Indian team all out for 46 runs

<p>India star cricketer Virat Kohli has written a letter for former South African great batsman AB de Villiers. Kohli wrote this letter after de Villiers was inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame. De Villiers was inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame on Wednesday along with England legend Alastair Cook and India&#39;s Neetu David.</p>

<p>This letter has been released by the ICC, in which Kohli has praised his former teammate of IPL team Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).</p>

<p>Kohli wrote, &#39;You fully deserve this place. After all, the Hall of Fame represents your impact on the game and your contribution has been truly great. People have always been talking about your potential and it is right too. You are the most talented cricketer I have played with, you are definitely number one.&#39;</p>

<h2><strong>I liked your confidence in yourself the most</strong></h2>

<p>He further wrote, &#39;But what I liked the most was your confidence in your own ability. You had a lot of belief that you could do whatever you wanted on the cricket field, and you generally did that. That is what made you so special.</p>

<p>There is no better example in my mind than when we were batting together for RCB against KKR in Kolkata in 2016. We were chasing a target of 184 runs. KKR had bowlers like Sunil Narine, Morne Morkel, Andre Russell and Shakib Al Hasan. You came to bat with me when the score was 70 and Narine was bowling.</p>

<p>You played two dot balls and during the timeout told me that you were not selecting his balls properly. I told you to give me the strike and I would try to hit boundaries off his balls.</p>

<p>After the timeout, Narine came to bowl the over, I was ready at the non-striker end thinking you would definitely give me a single. But you did not do that and hit a 94 meter long six on Narine&#39;s ball.</p>

<p>This is one of those memorable moments when I was batting with you. This was the time when I enjoyed the most on the cricket field.&#39;</p>

<h3><strong>I remember your innings played in Delhi in 2015</strong></h3>

<p>&#39;Everyone remembers your aggressive shots but you adapt yourself according to the situation. Take the test match played in Delhi in 2015 when you faced 297 balls and scored 43 runs in an attempt to save the test match. I still remember that innings.&#39;</p>
