New Zealand’s first Test win against India in India since 1988

Talking about the Bengaluru Test match, Team India had to face defeat by 8 wickets. Indian captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bat first, but his decision backfired and the team was reduced to just 46 runs.

In response, New Zealand put 402 runs on the board in their first innings and took a huge lead. However, the Indian team looked better in the second innings and made a brilliant comeback and scored a total of 462 runs. But the target of 107 runs was not big for the Kiwi team and they achieved it by losing just 2 wickets.

After this historic win, New Zealand has registered its first Test win against India in this century. Before this, the last time the Kiwi team had defeated India was in 1988 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The Black Caps’ only win in India came in 1969 and they had not won a single Test against India in India since 1988.
