The New Zealand cricket team has done what even the strongest teams of Australia, England and South Africa could not do in the last 12 years. The Kiwi team has created history by coming to India and defeating Team India in the Test series. After winning by 8 wickets in the first Test played in Bengaluru, New Zealand also defeated the Indian team by a huge margin of 113 runs in the Pune Test. With this, New Zealand has already taken a 2-0 lead in the 3-match Test series. Also, after 12 years, Team India has faced defeat in the Test series at home. With this result, New Zealand has made some special records, while Team India has made unwanted records in its account.

A flurry of records in Pune Test

1. In the 21st century, New Zealand has become only the fourth team to come to India and win a Test series. In these 24 years, South Africa (2000), Australia (2004) and England (2012) had won Test series in India.
2. For the first time in its Test history, New Zealand has come to India and won a Test series. Earlier, the Kiwi team had won only 2 test matches in India in its nearly 70 years of history, but now it created history by winning 2 matches and a series simultaneously.
3. Left arm spinner Mitchell Santner, who was the star of New Zealand's victory, took a total of 13 wickets in this match. He took 7 wickets in the first innings and 6 wickets in the second innings. Before this, he had not taken 5 wickets in an innings even once in his entire Test career.
4. Also, Mitchell Santner not only gave the best performance of his career, but also made the record of taking the most wickets in a test match in Pune. Earlier this record was made by Steve O'Keefe of Australia in 2017, who took 12 wickets.
5. Not only this, Santner has become the second best left arm spinner in India to take the most wickets in a single Test. His teammate at number-1 is Ajaz Patel, who took 14 wickets in the Mumbai Test in 2021.
6. Before this defeat, Team India had won 18 consecutive Test series at home, which is the longest winning streak in the history of cricket. This journey is also over now.
7. Team India captain Rohit Sharma scored a total of 8 runs in this match, which is the lowest score by a Team India captain in any Test in India in the last 16 years. Earlier in 2008, Anil Kumble had scored 5 runs against South Africa.
8. Team India has lost its third test match at home this year. In this way, after 41 years, India has faced defeat in 3 Tests at home. Earlier in 1983 also, Team India had lost 3 tests.
