New Zealand won the game by 113 runs.
New Zealand have done what many other teams had failed to do since 2012. They are the first team in 12 years to win a Test series in India. They also won their first Test series and just their fourth Test in India with an emphatic 113-run win in Pune on October 26. On Day 3 of the Test, India managed to bowl out the visitors for 255 runs as the Kiwis posted a target of 359 runs.
The India openers started well but Rohit Sharma (8) fell defending a Mitchell Santner delivery again. Shubman Gill (23) and Yashasvi Jaiswal started building the innings but the former was picked by Santner again. The veteran spinner did not stop there as he sent the well set Jaiswal (77) packing and was part of Rishabh Pant’s (0) run-out. Virat Kohli (17) tried bridging the gap between him and the spin struggle but Santner dismissed him LBW as India were reeling on 147/5.
