New Zealand Tour Of India News

VVS Laxman lauded Mayank Agarwal, after the opener scored match-winning 150 and 62 in the decider of the two-match Test series against New Zealand in Mumbai last week. Laxman was highly impressed with the right-hander’s “outstanding” strokeplay against Blackcaps spinners, especially Ajaz Patel.

Rahul Dravid has said that having a lot of options for the team selection is a good headache to have, after India defeated New Zealand by 327 runs in the second Test in Mumbai to take the series 1-0. Dravid added that it was good to see players being tested on a challenging Wankhede pitch.

New Zealand might have gone down by 372 runs in the second Test against India in Mumbai – their biggest ever Test defeat in terms of runs – but Ajaz Patel’s historic 10-fer was a feat worth cherishing. The left-arm spinner is still trying to absorb his emotions after the landmark achievement.

It took just 45 minutes for Jayant Yadav and Ravichandran Ashwin to run through New Zealand's lower-order on the fourth morning of the Mumbai Test, which completed India's massive series-clinching 372-run win. It’s the biggest ever winning-margin for India in Test cricket, in terms of runs.
