India captain Rohit Sharma has won the toss and decided to bat first in the rain-affected opening test against New Zealand.

Even though there was no rain and it seemed for the longest time that play will get underway on time (09:15 am IST) in the India vs New Zealand 1st Test at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, there was still a bit of delay.

The first day of the IND vs NZ Test match has been called of due to rain without a single ball being bowled, The weather does not look promising for the remainder of the Test either
