New Zealand completed a series sweep against India in the third Test held in Mumbai, thanks to a standout performance by Ajaz Patel who claimed 11 wickets, causing significant disruption to the Indian batting order. Rishabh Pant displayed great determination, scoring 64 runs and almost steering India to a win. However, the absence of support from other Indian batsmen led to the team’s downfall following Pant’s wicket. Despite Pant’s valiant effort and a tough pitch, India was unable to withstand New Zealand’s bowling attack, particularly struggling with Patel’s spin bowling, and ultimately lost the match by a margin of 25 runs.
