New Zealand whitewash India 3-0!!

November 03, 2024


India Inns 2: 121-all out (29.1 ovs); Target to win: 147 | Scorecard

Sundar swings but misses to be bowled by Ajaz for 12.

India are bowled out for 121 in 29.1 overs to lose by 25 runs to suffer their first Test series whitewash at home in a series comprising three matches or more.

Chasing just 147 for victory, India's batting line-up surrendered tamely. Pant, who stroked 64, was the only Indian batter to score above the 20-run mark.

They were blanked 2-0 in a two-Test series at home by South Africa in 2000.

'This is the greatest moment in the history of New Zealand cricket,' declares Simon Doull on commentary.

This is India's worst performance in a Test series at home in a series comprising three or more matches!

India's senior players Rohit, Kohli and Ashwin were big disappointments, while young guns Sarfaraz, Gill and Jaiswal also struggled for consistency.
