MUMBAI: Former Indian batting coach Sanjay Bangar feels that India's batting on the second day of the World Test Championship final against New Zealand in Southampton was the turning point in the match. New Zealand won the rain-marred summit clash against India by eight wickets to bag the winning purse of Rs 12 crore along with an ICC Test Championship Mace.

"I feel (that the turning point was) how we batted on Day 2 of the Test match. We were in a great position on day one after being asked to bat. Credit to the New Zealand bowlers especially Kyle Jamieson who bowled really well," Bangar told cricket.com.

The former all-rounder reckoned that the Indian batting crumbled under pressure and should have aimed at getting 275 runs. IANS
