India vs New Zealand, 2nd Test Day 3 Highlights: NZ beat IND by 7 wickets to complete series whitewash

New Zealand beat India in both Wellington and Christchurch by 7 wickets and have completed a series whitewash over India. With the win, now they have risen to No.3 in the World Test Championship. India remain on top of the tree but will now have a hard time retaining the place with just two series to go. New Zealand dominated the first Test and carried it on in the second to extend their dominance in home conditions. For India, the next Test series will be in November, when they tour Australia for a four-match Test series. Overall, it was a disappointing tour for the visitors and they will be hoping to come back strong in the ODI series against South Africa, starting March 12. Till then goodbye and see you all soon!
