Ajaz Patel claimed 6 for 57 as India slumped to their first home series clean sweep loss since 2000
Ajaz Patel takes six as hosts fail to chase 146 in MumbaiNew Zealand completed an unprecedented 3-0 series sweep in India as the Black Caps dismissed the hosts for 121 on a tricky wicket to secure a 25-run win on day three of the third and final Test in Mumbai on Sunday.
“It’s seriously special first of all to win a Test match here at this historic ground but also to win a series 3-0,” said Daryl Mitchell, who scored 82 in the first innings. “It’s something you dream of. To come over here and actually achieve it is pretty special against a world‑class Indian team … we’re just a bunch of Kiwis taking on the world.”
Chasing 147 to win, Sharma threw the first punch by stepping out of his crease to hit Matt Henry for a four in the opening over, but the captain’s disappointing recent run of form continued as he fell for 11 after a rash shot against the same bowler. Patel made it two wickets in two overs as Shubman Gill, who had scored a splendid 90 in the first innings, left one that crashed into the stumps and departed for one.
