New Zealand Wins Historic Test Series in India

New Zealand achieved a historic Test series victory in India, winning the second Test by 113 runs and taking an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. This marks New Zealand's first series win on Indian soil after 69 years, ending India's remarkable 18-series unbeaten streak at home that lasted over a decade. Captain Tom Latham credited their success to a strong team effort, the ability to adapt to different pitch conditions, and winning crucial tosses, particularly noting the impact of Mitchell Santner's exceptional bowling performance, which included match figures of 13/157. Latham expressed immense pride in his team's achievement, especially following a disappointing series against Sri Lanka prior to this tour. As the series continues, New Zealand aims for a clean sweep in the final Test set to begin in Mumbai. The victory signifies a significant milestone for New Zealand cricket, with Latham joining an elite group of captains who have led their teams to triumph in India since 2000.
