New ‌Zealand Creates ⁤History with 3-0 ​Test Series Win Against India

New⁣ Zealand ⁢made history ‌by ‍becoming the first ‌team to‍ defeat‌ India⁢ 3-0 in a three-match Test series on ⁤Indian soil. India suffered a humiliating defeat in‍ the third and final test in Mumbai, losing ⁤by 25 runs.

India had⁢ previously won 18 Test series at home since their 2-1 ‌series loss⁣ against England in December 2012. However, ⁤New Zealand dealt a heavy blow to India ‍with their ⁤impressive performance.

The most ⁣disappointing defeat in the history of Indian Test cricket took‌ place ⁣at the Wankhede Stadium,⁢ the​ venue that lifted the ODI World Cup 13 ⁤years ago.

Historic Victory for New Zealand

“This‌ is New⁤ Zealand’s best Test match performance ⁣in the ⁣history of ​our game,”⁤ former New Zealand fast ⁤bowler Simon Doole⁢ told broadcasters.

Before traveling to New Zealand in October, India ⁣had not lost a Test series at home since​ 2012. It is also notable that ‌India failed to win a single Test in a ⁤home series of more than two Tests for the first time.

Ajaz Patel’s Heroics

The third day saw New Zealand leap into⁤ the script of history​ with Ajaz Patel’s heroics. India lost all 3 matches in a Test series at home for the first time. Ajaz Patel shone‌ with 11 wickets in​ the Mumbai Test.

Rishabh Pant’s 64 runs were wasted in the second innings. It was only the ⁢second time in their history that ⁣New⁣ Zealand defended a total below 150.‌ Ravindra Jadeja’s 10-wicket haul was also wasted.

Concerns for India

The⁤ warning signs need to​ be taken seriously as India could miss out on a ⁤place in the World Test Championship final ⁢for the⁢ first ​time ⁣since the format‌ was⁣ introduced‌ in ⁣2019. ⁤With their ‍confidence‌ and pride shattered, India are set to face a tough‌ task as they tour Australia for ⁤the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Chasing 147⁢ to ‌keep their pride alive in the third‌ and final test, India‌ suffered a setback‍ after Ravindra Jadeja‌ took five wickets.
