India vs New Zealand 3rd Test highlights: India whitewashed for the first time at home

India vs New Zealand 3rd Test Day 3 HIGHLIGHTS: Ajaz Khan took 6 wickets in the 2nd innings to bamboozle the Indian batting order.

IND vs NZ 3rd Test

Day 3 of India vs New Zealand 3rd Test, saw the Kiwis register a historic clean sweep against the hosts, winning the 3rd Test by 25 runs at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on November 3. New Zealand spinners featuring Ajaz Khan went on to decimate the Indian batting line-up at just 121 in the 2nd innings.

This is the first time ever that India have been whitewashed 3-0 in a Test series at home which is not what Rohit Sharma would have wanted during his time as the Indian skipper.

The star-studded Indian batting line-up fell like a house of cards as six batters went back to pavillion at the score of 29 runs. The collapse was triggered by Ajaz Patel, who took a five-for in the first innings, taking his match haul to nine wickets.

Rishabh Pant (53 not out) was leading India's charge when lunch was taken. He had Washington Sundar (6 not out) for company.

Earlier, Will Young scored a gritty half century as New Zealand set India a target of 147 runs to win.

Young, who scored 51 off 100 balls, was the penultimate wicket to fall on day two as the hosts dismissed New Zealand for 174 in their second innings early on Sunday.

Ajaz Patel and Matt Henry could add only three runs to New Zealand's total this morning having resumed at the overnight score of 171/9.

Here's how India ceded advantage on Day 2

In just two days of thrilling cricket, we're on the brink of a decisive result. The fate of the match will be sealed today. The second day was nothing short of a spectacle—a rollercoaster of action on a treacherous pitch, where skill and instinct reigned supreme over defence. A staggering 348 runs were plundered, and no fewer than 15 wickets tumbled, keeping fans on the edge of their seats.

The drama kicked off with Rishabh Pant, who smashed the first two balls of the day to the boundary, announcing his intent in emphatic fashion. His fiery knock brought up a blistering half-century in just 36 balls, igniting the innings. Meanwhile, Shubman Gill showcased resilience, anchoring India with a sublime top score of 90. Washington Sundar’s gritty unbeaten 38 pushed India to a narrow 28-run lead in the first innings.

With the new ball in hand, Akash Deep struck early, yet Will Young fought back with grit, forging crucial partnerships with Conway and Mitchell. The Indian spinners, however, were relentless, chipping away at the New Zealand lineup, finally breaking through. At stumps, New Zealand stands effectively at 143 for 9 in their second innings, their hopes flickering as India closes in on victory.

Over Summary 1 0 0 W W 0 : India: 121-9; Mohammed Siraj 0(1); Washington Sundar12(24); India need 26 runs to win

Phillips continues and Sundar collects a single off the first ball.

Ashwin blocks the next two deliveries. Ashwin tries to reverse sweep but manages only the edge to keeper, GONE and so does India's hope.

It was an audacious reverse sweep attempt—but did it catch a sliver of glove on the way to Blundell? The suspense is broken as UltraEdge lights up, confirming the faintest touch, and India are down to eight wickets. Ashwin, crestfallen, begins the long, slow trudge back, weighed down by the burden of a misjudged shot. New Zealand stand just two wickets away from etching their names in history.

“It wasn’t needed,” Ravi Shastri remarks on air, the frustration evident in his tone. But Ashwin knew he had to find a way to scrape together those elusive runs. He chose the high-risk shot, the wrong option, and now he walks off, leaving India teetering on the edge of defeat. Ashwin c Blundell b Phillips 8(29)

Akash Deep, right handed bat, comes to the crease and gets cleaned up by Phillips first ball. Akash Deep b Phillips 0(1)

Mohammed Siraj, right handed bat, comes to the crease and blocks the hattrick ball.

Glenn Phillips continues....

Ashwin stretches forward, determined to block the third ball of the over. But fate twists—an inside edge ricochets off his front pad, then catches the back of his bat, and the ball trickles ominously towards the stumps. In a split second, Ashwin reacts, his bat swooping down to intercept. He barely manages to tap the ball, slowing its pace just enough, and it nudges the stumps with a delicate, almost mocking touch. The bails remain stubbornly in place, untouched, defying the odds as Ashwin breathes a sigh of relief. It’s a miraculous escape, a moment of pure theatre as the crowd gasps, aware of how close it came to disaster.

Luck favours India as India need 29 more runs to win.

Ajaz Patel continues and Ashwin flirts a spinning delivery way outside edge, managing only outside edge. Matt Henry makes a clumsy effort and Ashwin collects a couple off the miss field.

Ajaz beats Ashwin off the next two deliveries but an FOUR BYES comes as a relief to India.

New Zealand exhausts their lone review thanks to a worst DRS call from Latham. No shot played, so the impact doesn't matter. Missing off! That wasn't turning enough and New Zealand have lost all their reviews

Ajaz gets a vicious turn, there is a appeal, umpire remains unmoved. Latham takes review and no bat was involved.

Pant sweeps the third ball towards backward square leg for FOUR.

Pant comes down the wicket once again and this time defends and the ball loops in the air follows by a loud appeal, umpire remains unmoved.

Latham takes one-last successful review, and he gets it right this time.

PANT DEPARTS - BIGGEST DENT TO INDIA'S CHANCES....

Rishabh Pant's controversial DRS CALL

The ball loops up off the pad, floating tantalisingly into the keeper’s gloves. But the question hangs heavy—was there an inside edge? The UltraEdge shows a faint murmur as the ball nears the bat, and New Zealand’s fielders are already celebrating, eyes alight with anticipation. Pant is visibly unsettled, exchanging words with the on-field umpires, desperately hoping for reprieve.

Paul Reiffel steps in, signalling what he sees: a clear deflection! The decision is overturned by umpire Richard Illingworth, and the verdict strikes like a thunderbolt. Pant stands rooted, disbelief etched on his face, refusing to accept the inevitable. As he finally turns and begins the long, heart-wrenching walk back, the anguish is unmistakable—he’s leaving, but his spirit remains on the field.
