New Zealand sealed an eight-wicket victory on Sunday, their first test win in India since 1988. They beat India to take a 1-0 lead at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
The Black Caps ran down 107 and sacked the home team early on the final day of the rain-interrupted series opener as Team India captain Rohit Sharma praised his side for fighting despite their wretched start.
Reasonable effort with the bat in the second innings. Didn’t bat too well in the first innings. So, I knew what was ahead, and a couple of guys stood out.
When you are 350 behind, you can’t overthink about it; you just have to see the ball and bat. A couple of partnerships were inspiring to watch.
We could have easily been bowled out cheaply, but proud of the effort, Rohit Sharma said in the post-match interview.
New Zealand Skittled India For A Dismal 46 In the First Innings, Then Scored 402 Before Dismissing The Hosts Again For 462 And Chased Their 107-run Target.
We knew it would be sticky early on but did not expect to be out for 46, Rohit said in his press conference.
