The new history of New Zealand upset India


Published: 02:01 3 November 2024
Rishabh Pant stood between New Zealand and history. Mumbai's Wankhede was packed with thrills every time. India went to the brink of the abyss with the loss of 5 wickets for just 29 runs. However, the pendulum was swinging in both directions at the rhythm of Rishabh Pant's bat. It looked like this was India, but once again control was in the hands of the touring New Zealanders. However, Kiwi stopped Pant's fight and took the win. After 24 years, India were whitewashed in a Test series in their own fortress.
However, the previous whitewash against the India Proteas was in the two-match Test series. This time, Tom Latham's Kiwi camp is reeling from a bitter defeat in their biggest three-match series. While the target of 147 runs set by the Kiwis at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai seemed small, Rohit's hometown was all set to stage a dramatic thriller. The Indian innings stopped at 121 runs stuck in the spin trap of their own making.
For the second time in their history, India was beaten at home. In 2000, South Africa were the only team to beat India on their home soil. But that was a two match series. This is the first time in a series of three or more matches. New Zealand has also broken the record of not being whitewashed for 24 years.
