New Zealand has a chance to win the first series
If New Zealand beats India in the second test, history will be made. New Zealand has not won a Test series in India till date. If he wins in Pune, he will win a Test series in India for the first time. If this happens, it will also be India's first series defeat on home soil in 12 years. The New Zealand team has been touring India since 1955 but its dream of winning the series is still pending.
The last time England defeated
India lost its last Test series at home in 2012. Then England defeated India 2-1 in the 4-match series. If India wants to avoid defeat against New Zealand, it will have to score more than 290 runs in the fourth innings, which will not be easy on a turning track.
