New Zealand consign India to series defeat after another batting collapse:
Meanwhile, day 2 of the second Test between India and New Zealand finished with a lead of 301 for the latter after they skittled the hosts for 156 in response to their first-innings score of 259. Nevertheless, the Black Caps were able to add only 57 more runs to their total, but still the target was a steep 359 for India.
Yashasvi Jaiswal played aggressively for his 77, but the remaining top-order batters folded like a pack of cards without a significant score. The likes of Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Akash Deep did their best to resist, but the Black Caps came up with the goods to fashion a 113-run win.
Mitchell Santner took 13 wickets in the match to earn the Player of the Match award.
