Hello, visitor!

Article:
Well, who saw that coming! Even after the defeat in Bengaluru, India were still the favourites for this game as the pitch was nothing like the one at Chinnaswamy. It was a typical Indian wicket" in the words of Gautam Gambhir.

But New Zealand rose to the challenge in some style! Mitchell Santner, the Test bowler, where have you been? Brought in on a turner, he managed to outbowl the Indian attack and ended up with 13 wickets in the match. So this result shakes up the permutations and combinations in the World Test Championship. One more Test to go at Wankhede, and New Zealand probably won't mind the conditions there either. For now, though, they can soak in the enormity of what they've achieved, bringing down an Indian behemoth in their own backyard. That's all we have from here. This is Sagar Chawla signing off on behalf of Vinod and Saurabh Shankar. Goodbye! Let’s address the elephant in the room!! Hidden somewhere underneath the glamor of a nigh perfect home record since 2012 is the inconvenient truth of a faltering, steadily depreciating batting unit. A batting unit that has been sheltered by a well oiled, experienced spin bowling unit and by freaks like Jaiswal and Pant who’ve defied cricket logic to stave them off defeats. It has taken a rather innocuous but extremely effective peck by the Kiwi to rattle this regal Indian elephant, and hopefully wake it up from a long hidden batting malaise. Everyone knew that a transition was coming soon enough with so many of the Indian players on the wrong side of 30, but maybe, just maybe that transition is already upon us… Santner | Player of the Match: Not really (bowled differently in second innings?). Felt a little harder this time. Credit to India for the way they came out. We knew they might fire some shots and that was probably the best way on that wicket. Jaiswal played extremely well but we just tried to hang in there. Hopefully one had their name on it. Great feeling. My side's a bit sore. Might just be because of a spike in my workloads - 20-odd overs there in a row. I felt it a little bit early on in my spell. I guess in that kind of situation you just want to keep going for the team. Every time I got a wicket it felt a little better. Yeah it's a bit strange for me (long spells). Nice to contribute to the team. Winning a series over here is very tough as India have shown for a very long time. Obviously very pleasing for us. But we have another game in Mumbai in a few days time - we have to go again. Everytime you take wickets you feel confident. Kind of felt that way in this innings with a few wickets under the belt. Landing the ball in the same spot all the time with little changes in pace - that's what we try to do as a spin unit. Latham | NZ captain: Really special feeling. Proud to be in this position. Whole team effort and a clear example of everyone pitching in when they needed to and everyone standing up at different times. When you come over here you want to compete and put your best foot forward. What we did last week, we played fantastically well. What we spoke during the week was making sure we stay level and stay where our feet are, and focus on this game. Putting runs on the board at the start was really important. Have to mention Mitch Santner. In that first innings, he was fantastic. Has been around the group a long time, and to finally get a break and bowl the way he has - credit has to go to him. I actually think we didn't play that badly in Sri Lanka. Obviously you look at the result - 2-0 down - but I thought we did a lot of good things. Coming here, it was about trying to stick to our basics and play the long game. Both surfaces have been different, we've needed to adapt and we've done that very well. The method we played with last night - to put ourselves on the front foot - was outstanding. Runs were the most important things out there, not necessarily time. The way GP played this morning was really important. We knew India were going to come out hot. Didn't realise they were going to come that hot, but we managed to get the breakthroughs when they were needed and it was a great middle session. Those last three wickets took an age but when Tim took that catch we were really happy. Rohit | India captain: Disappointing. It's not what we expected. Got to give credit to NZ - they played better than us. We failed to capitalise on certain moments. We failed to respond to those challenges. And we sit here with that result today. Didn't think we batted well enough to get runs on the board. If you want to win Test matches you've got to take 20 wickets to win, yes, but batters have to put runs on the board as well. Didn't put enough runs on the board in the first innings. Then we were behind in the game - 100 runs lead to NZ. Was a great fightback to restrict them to 250-odd but we knew it was going to be challenging. We gave it our all. We came out thinking we can chase that target but the continuous pressure from both sides meant we were not able to respond to those challenges. When they started off, they were 200/3 and for us to come back and get them bowled out for 259 was a great effort. Wasn't a pitch where a lot was happening. We just didn't bat well enough. Things would've been slightly different had we got a bit closer in the first innings. We want to show up well at Wankhede and try and win that Test. Not thinking too far ahead. Important we focus on that next game. What better we can do as a unit.It's a collective failure. I'm not somebody who would blame just the batters or the bowlers. It's the team that has failed to accept the challenge that was thrown at us.
