Team India's bowling coach feels that the constant failure of the batsmen to score runs in the first innings is costing the side. Also, the chances of India losing the first Test series at home since 2012-13 are increasing.

From being all-out for 46 runs in the first Test match to being all-out for 156 runs in the first innings of the second Test match against New Zealand, the hosts' are losing their control of the match.
