Mitchell Santner played a starring role by taking 6-104 as New Zealand claimed their first Test series win in India with a 113-run victory in the second Test.
Santner had been pivotal in putting New Zealand in the driving seat, taking seven wickets on day two in Pune, with his six-for as India were dismissed for 245 in their second innings netting him a match haul of 13 wickets. New Zealand won the toss in the second Test and elected to bat, making 259 before India mustered only 156 in response.
I just tried to land the ball in the same spot with little changes in pace.' India had previously lost only three Test series on home soil - to South Africa , Australia and England 12 years ago. New Zealand have toured India since 1955 and had only managed to win two Tests there prior to this series - in 1969 and 1988. 'We are proud to be in this position. It is a really special feeling and a whole team effort,' said Latham.
