In a landmark match, New Zealand defeated India by 113 runs in the second game of a three-match Test series, marking India’s first home Test series loss in 12 years. With this victory, the Kiwis have secured an unbeatable 2-0 lead, clinching the series ahead of the final Test set to take place in Mumbai.
India’s typically robust spinners were unable to prevent this historic loss, as New Zealand capitalized on key moments to secure their first series win on Indian soil in over a decade. India had maintained a remarkable 18 consecutive home Test series victories since 2012, a streak now ended by a determined New Zealand squad.
New Zealand’s series win not only breaks India’s longstanding dominance at home but also sets up the final Test match with the Kiwis firmly in control, looking to complete a rare series sweep in Mumbai.
