India’s batting collapse was stark, losing five wickets with just 29 runs, despite Rishabh Pant’s valiant fifty. 

IND vs NZ Test Series 2024 Latest News Today: In a historic series, New Zealand defeated India by 25 runs in the third and final Test in Mumbai, completing a stunning 3-0 whitewash. This is the first time India has been whitewashed in a home series of three or more Tests. With this, New Zealand becomes only the fourth team to achieve this feat, joining the ranks of England, Australia, and West Indies.

India’s star players, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, struggled throughout the series, with Rohit averaging only 13.30 and Kohli 21.33 in their home innings. This poor form among senior players contributed to India's collapse, according to former cricketer Pragyan Ojha, who emphasized that the pressure will mount on new head coach Gautam Gambhir ahead of the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. 

Ojha warned that the Australian side, having previously lost to India at home, will seek revenge, taking advantage of India’s low morale following this series loss.

New Zealand's performance saw standout moments, particularly with Ajaz Patel’s decisive spell that crushed India’s final resistance. India’s batting collapse was stark, losing five wickets with just 29 runs, despite Rishabh Pant’s valiant fifty. 

Patel’s clinical bowling, coupled with Glenn Phillips' contributions, sealed the win for New Zealand, marking their first-ever series win of three consecutive away Tests and their first win of three in a series against India.
