New Zealand broke India’s historic string of 18 consecutive home series wins in Pune, Maharashtra, according to reports on Saturday. In addition, this marks India’s first men’s Test series victory. New Zealand won by 113 runs.
Both teams went for tea when India was reeling at 178/7, with Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja undefeated on 9(10) and 4(13), respectively. With India’s first Test series defeat at home under head coach Gautam Gambhir looming, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill kept their dreams of rewriting history alive by finishing the rising 359-run chase against the Kiwis.Disclaimer: This article is for informational purposes only and not a substitute for professional medical advice.

But, once again, Mitchell Santner plagued India’s batters with his pinpoint accuracy, propelling New Zealand closer to victory. The ‘Gamball’ took over New Zealand’s cutthroat bowling assault, with Gill and Jaiswal showing no mercy on their way to making history. In the previous 26 times, India has just once managed to chase down a 300-plus total.
The victory dates back to 2008, when India played England in Chennai. India has lost 14 of the 26 cases. The flurry of boundaries overshadowed any hopes of losing the series and served as a reminder of what India is capable of accomplishing, even in the most desperate of circumstances. Jaiswal’s inside-out, foot movements, and classic drives were a spectacle to behold, while Gill, with his sweeps, out maneuvered New Zealand’s spin threat.
IND 156 & 245 (60.2)
NZ 259 & 255
