The fourth day of the Test match between India and New Zealand again started late because of rain but when rain got stopped and overnight not out batsmen Brendon McCullum and Kane Williamson came out to bat everyone expected them to play patientely. They did play patientely.They just rotated strikes by taking single-double and didn't tried to look for big shots.They builded a good partnership between them but just when the partnership was looking a bit dangerous it was broken by Umesh Yadav.He got McCullum out lbw and sent him to the pavillion.He missed his half-century by just 8 runs.Kiwi captain Ross Taylor continued his bad form and got out for just 7 runs on the bowling of R.Ashwin.
Daniel Flynn and Kane Williamson tried to hold the innings but couldn't hold it longer as Kane Williamson was caught by Sehwag on the bowling of Ojha.He made a good half-century before his departure.After the loss of wicket of Williamson, none of the batsmen could bat well and whole team got out for 164 runs and hence lost the match by an innings and 115 runs.
