New Zealand defeated India by 113 runs in the second Test at Pune’s MCA Stadium, marking their first-ever Test series victory on Indian soil, ending a 69-year wait since their first tour in 1955-56. New Zealand claimed back-to-back wins, including an eight-wicket victory in Bengaluru. All-rounder Mitchell Santner starred with 13 wickets across two innings, limiting India’s attempts, despite Yashasvi Jaiswal’s 77-run effort. The series loss breaks India’s home Test streak since 2012, though they remain at the top of the World Test Championship standings. The final Test is scheduled in Mumbai from November 1-5.
