NZ Win By 113 Runs| India vs New Zealand Highlights of 2nd Test 2024 Day 3: Mitchell Santner Shines for Kiwis As Team India Lose Home Test Series After 12 Years

A special, special win this for New Zealand. They were the underdogs heading into the Test series and have totally outplayed India in all departments in these two Test matches. A massive victory this for New Zealand and it will do wonders for their confidence as they aim at a clean sweep. India on the other hand, have lost a home Test series after 12 years! This loss will surely sting India and Rohit Sharma along with Gautam Gambhir have a lot of difficult decisions to make heading into the Wankhede Test. India's fortress at home has been breached and Mitchell Santner has been the protagonist in New Zealand's first Test series win on Indian soil. Just like the first Test, India's batting in the first innings has turned out to be a cause of concern. India would look to do much better than this in Wankhede while New Zealand eye a clean sweep.
