India vs New Zealand Highlights, 3rd Test Day 3: India suffer first-ever 0-3 series whitewash at home, lose by 25 runs against New Zealand

India vs New Zealand Live Score, 3rd Test Day 3: New Zealand made history by completing a stunning 3-0 series sweep over India, defeating the hosts by 25 runs in the third and final Test at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday. This marked the first time India has been whitewashed in a home Test series since their 2-0 defeat to South Africa in 2000.On a tricky, spin-friendly track, India faltered in their pursuit of a modest 147-run target, collapsing to 121 all out on day three. Ajaz Patel, the star of the match, delivered a match-winning performance with figures of 6-57, his second five-wicket haul in the game, sealing New Zealand's landmark victory.India’s batting line-up crumbled under pressure on a turning pitch, with Patel wreaking havoc. The hosts found themselves in deep trouble early on, reduced to 29-5 in their second innings. Despite a valiant knock of 64 from wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant, India failed to recover from the early damage.Pant's aggressive counter-attack gave India hope as he struck nine boundaries and a six in a gritty 64, but the rest of the batting order offered little resistance. The next highest score was Washington Sundar’s 12 not out, highlighting India’s struggles against New Zealand's relentless spin attack.Patel, who had claimed 5-103 in the first innings, was once again the destroyer-in-chief, supported by fellow spinners Glenn Phillips and Rachin Ravindra, as the Black Caps secured a hard-fought victory.
