On Sunday, November 3, New Zealand secured a historic 25-run victory over India in the final Test match in Mumbai, sealing a 3-0 series sweep. This marked the first time India lost a three-match Test series on home soil. The last time India experienced a home series defeat was back in 2012. Ajaz Patel’s exceptional bowling performance was pivotal in New Zealand’s win.
