IND vs NZ: India whitewashed for the first time with 0-3 in 3rd test series, internet reacts
India faced a historic 3-0 Test series defeat at home against New Zealand, with the third match ending in a 25-run loss in Mumbai. India struggled to chase 147 runs, collapsing to 121 all out despite Rishabh Pant¡¯s resistance.
For the first time, India lost a Test series 3-0 at home, with New Zealand winning by 25 runs in the third Test at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium on Sunday. India failed to chase down 147 runs, being dismissed for 121. The team's chase has been dismal, with only Rishabh Pant showing any promise at the crease while the rest of the batting order struggled to adjust to the conditions.
India whitewashed at home for the first time
In their pursuit of 147 runs, India battled greatly, falling to 29/5 before Rishabh Pant sought to settle the innings. However, his dismissal by Ajaz Patel constituted a watershed moment, resulting in a fast loss of the remaining wickets.
Ajaz Patel was the star performer, taking 11 wickets in the match, while Will Young was vital for New Zealand, scoring half-centuries in both innings and serving as the backbone of their batting lineup.
This is the first time India has been whitewashed 0-3 in a home Test series, and New Zealand is the first team to do so. The New Zealanders won the first Test in Bengaluru by eight wickets and the second in Pune by 113 runs.
