The Indian team wanted to continue bowling after the New Zealand side was asked to chase 107 as the overhead conditions were overcast. However, the umpires stopped play due to bad light. The Indian captain Rohit Sharma and batter Virat Kohli argued with the umpires to not stop the play.

India captain Rohit Sharma's promising innings was cut short in a moment of disbelief after his unlucky dismissal during Day 3 of the first Test against New Zealand, leaving India in a precarious position following their disastrous first-innings collapse for 46 runs.

With Rohit, there was no confrontation, no stone-walling, when asked about 46 all out; it was an honest confession, laced with humour.
