Yuvraj had a bad day in the field as he also dropped Taylor when the stylish 25-year-old right-hander was on four and it proved to be costly.
Having won the toss and opted to bat on the batsman friendly wicket, New Zealand skipper Daniel Vettori would have been disappointed to see early wickets fall as the hosts slipped to 23 for three inside the opening 11 overs.
But Taylor and Ryder turned the tide superbly, hitting boundaries all round the ground as the previously dominant Indians were given a taste of their own medicine.
The Indians suffered a setback even before the Test began when captain MS Dhoni was a late withdrawal with a back problem.
