Discussing India scoring 231/3 in their second innings at Stumps on Day 3 in response to New Zealand's first innings lead of 356 runs, Sanjay Manjrekar said, "If I were New Zealand, I'd be...worried with India's...reply." "Only recently South Africa needed 30 off 30 balls in the 2024 T20 World Cup final, remember that comeback?" he stated.
