Batting Frailties To The Fore As NZ Beat India For Historic Whitewash (Ld)
New Zealand: India's batting frailties came to the fore once again as the hosts, despite a fighting performance in both innings by Rishabh Pant and a 10-wicket haul by Ravindra Jadeja, lost the third Test at the Wankhede by 25 runs as New Zealand became the first team to sweep a series 3-0 in India.
Pant scored 60 in the first innings and followed it up with a majestic fighting 64 in the second, rescuing the hosts from 29/5 to take them past 100 in their tricky chase of a 147-run target, which would have helped the hosts avoid a 0-3 whitewash.
Shubman Gill scored a patient 90 in the first innings, a brilliant knock and the highest score by a batter in this match, but a lack of desire on the part of the batters to stay put and defend on a challenging track and poor shot selection by the top-order resulted in India succumbing to a 25-run defeat and a 0-3 whitewash for the first time at home.
