Pune: The Indian cricket team lost the ongoing test series against New Zealand as they lost the first two matches of the tournament. This series of defeats comes as a major setback for India as it lost a test series at home after 12 years.
With the defeat in the second Test match on Saturday, the Rohit Sharma-led Indian Cricket team lost its more than a-decade-long hold on home tournaments. The previous loss on Indian soil was in 2012-13 when the English team defeated the Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led Indian team. With the continuous second defeat, the Indian team now looks at considerable improvements in their Test squad.
Meanwhile, for the New Zealand team, this has been a moment that they have been waiting for for a very long time. Although the country has defeated India in two back-to-back test matches, they have managed to win only 4 out of the last 38 encounters between the two teams. They had to wait 26 long years to secure a victory against India which came in the first match of the tournament held in Bengaluru last week. New Zealand had defeated India by eight wickets in the Bengaluru test.
