In a thrilling Test match held in Mumbai, New Zealand emerged victorious by 25 runs in the third and final game of the series. Chasing a target of 147 runs, the Indian batting lineup fell short and was bowled out for 121 runs.
New Zealand's bowling attack, led by Ajaz Patel who took six wickets and Glenn Phillips with three, proved too strong for the hosts. This strong performance helped seal New Zealand's clean sweep in the series.
In the third Test, New Zealand set scores of 235 in the first innings and 174 in the second. India managed 263 runs in their first innings but could not capitalize in the second, leading to their eventual collapse while chasing the modest target.
This defeat marks a significant moment in Indian cricket, as the team faced a whitewash at home in a Test series for the first time since 1999. Additionally, it's been 25 years since India last experienced a 3-0 home Test series whitewash.
