The Wankhede Stadium pitch showed signs of becoming a rank turner, ate on Day 2 of the 3rd Test match between India and New Zealand. New Zealand batters found it very difficult to negotiate Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, who made merry on the Wankhede pitch on Saturday, 2 November.

R Ashwin returned to form in the Test series with 3 wickets to his name, removing dangerous batters like Will Young and Glenn Phillips. Ashwin bowled two terrific carrom balls to the batters - first dismantling Phillips' stumps and then completing a simple catch off his own bowling against Will Young.

However, despite the brilliance from the spinners, New Zealand were able to stretch their lead up to 143 runs on Day 2 of the Test match. This begs the question, what is the highest ever successful chase ever completed at the Wankhede Stadium?
