This is the first time in 12 years that India have lost a bilateral Test series on home soil.

New Zealand won the first game by 8 wickets before registering a 113-run victory in the second match to seal the series.

"I Don't Treat This As A World Championship Match": Chess Legend Garry Kasparov On D Gukesh-Ding Liren Title Clash

Russian chess legend Garry Kasparov doesn't consider the upcoming World Championship match between India's D Gukesh and China's Ding Liren as a contest between the world's top two players in the absence of five-time champion Magnus Carlsen. Kasparov believes with Carlsen, who hails from Norway, opting out of defending his title last year, the long line of world champions has come to an end.

"Many Infamous Records Have Already Been Created In Gautam Gambhir's Tenure": Ex-India Star

Gautam Gambhir's tenure as India head coach so far has not been a memorable one for sure. It all started with India's tour of Sri Lanka. While the visitors won the T20I series 3-0, they lost the three-match ODI series 2-0. India then thoroughly outplayed Bangladesh in a two-match Test series and a similar performance was expected from them during their three-match series against New Zealand that followed. However, what happened was the exact opposite of the expectations as the Blackcaps outplayed India in the first two Tests to take an unassailable lead of 2-0 with a match to go.

"Our Batters Need To Perform": Ravindra Jadeja After 5-Wicket Haul In 3rd Test Against New Zealand

Ravindra Jadeja is happy with another five-wicket haul in Test cricket but conceded that in sultry conditions on a slow turner, bowling indeed was hardwork. Jadeja's 14th five-wicket haul came after a brief period of lull as he looked menacing while mixing deliveries, pitching it on good length spots and letting the variable bounce and abrasive surface work in his favour. However Jadeja's assessment of the track was also an indicator that possibly Ravichandran Ashwin has lost a bit of pace in his deliveries as it required more shoulder effort to get the zip off the surface.
