NS second test between india and new zealand Ended on Monday in Mumbai as the hosts completed an extensive 372-run win with more than a day Won the two-match series 1-0. Mayank Agarwal was adjudged the “Player of the Match” for his innings of 150 and 62, which laid the foundation for India’s victory. Off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin was declared the “Player of the Series” for taking excellent wickets in the two Tests. India came very close to winning the first Test in Kanpur as well, but they were foiled by the pairing of Ejaz Patel and Rachin Ravindra, who batted off 52 balls to earn a draw for their team.
But the script was completely different in Mumbai as India’s bowlers bowled out the Blackcaps for 62 and 167. New Zealand left-arm spinner Ejaz Patel etched his name in the history books as he became only the third bowler in history. He achieved the feat in India’s first innings when he took all 10 wickets in Test cricket. He ended the match with 14 wickets.
The BCCI on Monday posted an epic picture of Axar Patel, Ejaz Patel, Rachin Ravindra and Ravindra Jadeja. The names of all these players were written on the back of their jerseys. When standing in a row, the names read, “Akshar Patel” and “Ravindra Jadeja”. BCCI wrote on its Twitter with the pictures, “In coordination! How’s this for the quartet.”

The players were full of enthusiasm throughout the series, as is the case when these two teams are in the middle. India will feel a little content after losing the final of the World Test Championship to the Kiwis earlier this year. Virat Kohli’s team was also whitewashed 2-0 on their previous tour of New Zealand.
Meanwhile, New Zealand continue without a series win on Indian soil.
