New Zealand win by Eight Wickets for first Test win in India in 36 years

By our Special Correspondent

New Zealand survived a hostile Jasprit Bumrah spell to foil India’s attempt to add a final-day twist to an absorbing series-opener, slaying the cricketing giants at home by eight wickets and ending a 36-year long wait to taste Test success in the country, here Sunday.

This is Kiwis first test win on the Indian soil after the John Wright-led outfit towelled India by 136 runs at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, way back in 1988.
