Rishabh Pant and Sarfaraz Khan built a 177-run partnership for the fourth wicket on Day 4. Sarfaraz scored 150 runs off 195 balls, his remarkable knock was laced with 18 boundaries and three maximums. Pant also batted brilliantly and scored 99 runs.
But Kiwi pacers made a sensational comeback with the second new ball as Team India bundled out for 462 runs in the second innings. Will Young, Conway and Rachin Ravindra made crucial contributions with the bat on Day 5 and helped their team to beat India at home for the first time since 1998.
Here are some social media reactions after New Zealand’s victory
Going to be one of the most embarrassing results for India. Losing a home Test to New Zealand. New Zealand! Also a third loss at home in three straight seasons. The fort may appear strong from a distance but cracks are more and more visible now.

After 36 years, NZ Defeated India in India 🥶
If credit for winning matches against Bangladesh and Sri Lanka goes to Gautam Gambhir then losing against New Zealand must be given to him only. #INDvsNZ pic.twitter.com/86TzULhhri
