New Zealand clinched a historic victory in India, marking their first test win on Indian soil since 1988. The Black Caps chased down a modest target of 107, securing an eight-wicket victory on the final day in Bengaluru. The match had been interrupted by rain, adding to the tension.
Will Young and Rachin Ravindra remained composed under pressure, guiding New Zealand to victory despite early setbacks. New Zealand skipper Tom Latham praised the team's performance, highlighting the crucial role of the seamers in the first innings that set the stage for success.
India, looking to extend their home series-winning streak, faced disappointment after a poor first-innings batting performance. Despite a strong second innings led by Sarfaraz Khan and Rishabh Pant, India's efforts fell short. The series continues in Pune and Mumbai, as India aims to rebound and reach the World Test Championship final.
