India beat New Zealand by record 372 runs to win Test series 1-0
27
India's spinners wasted little time in removing New Zealand's remaining batters on Monday to thrash the tourists by a record 372 runs in the second test at the Wankhede Stadium and secure the series 1-0.
It was the biggest margin of victory by runs for India in a home match, eclipsing their 337-run win against South Africa in a Delhi test in 2015.
Spin-bowling all-rounder Jayant Yadav did most of the damage on the fourth morning, picking up 4-49 to cut through New Zealand's middle and lower order.
Ravichandran Ashwin took the final wicket to finish with 4-34 as New Zealand were all out for 167 in their second innings, chasing 540 for victory.
It took India just 43 minutes in the first session to wrap up the win after New Zealand had resumed on 140-5.
The first Test in Kanpur ended in a draw.

@Multani, the last time NZ toured the UAE, they won the test series 2-1. It was a humiliating loss for Pakistan on their home turf

@Kamran, why did Pakistan not even make it to the finals? India has beaten Australia and England in their own den. Pakistan is yet to register a series win down under.

Reckless batting by New Zealand. Surprised to see Ross Taylor the most experienced batter in the NZ side with more than 7000 test runs to his credit played reckless innings. It’s time he should announce his retirement from five day test cricket.

@Punjabi jatt , Never forget what followed, never forget the GABBA too. Lastly, never forget what the Aussie and England legends said even before the series began.

@Sheraz Ali, Agreed. But sometimes it is a blessing. Also that loss was due to mismanagement of team schedule. Hope they will learn the lesson
