In a thrilling finish to a rain-affected Test match, New Zealand emerged victorious against India at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, ending their drought on Indian soil. Despite a valiant effort from the Indian bowlers, the Kiwis chased down the target of 107 runs with eight wickets to spare, securing a memorable win and taking a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.

The final day began with a delayed start due to a wet outfield, but the excitement was there as Jasprit Bumrah resumed his over from the previous day. He delivered a sensational opening blow, dismissing New Zealand captain Tom Latham with a peach of a delivery. Bumrah then continued his fiery spell, claiming the wicket of Devon Conway to give India a glimmer of hope.

However, Rachin Ravindra and Will Young steadied the New Zealand innings. They batted with composure and determination, building a crucial 50-run partnership that took the game away from India. Their unbeaten stand guided New Zealand to a historic victory, their first Test win in India since 1989.

This result marks a significant upset, as India had been dominant at home in recent years.
