India regain top spot in ICC rankings after beating New Zealand by 372 runs

India fixed their hold over third spot in the ICC World Test Championship standings by bearing New Zealand in the Mumbai Test match.

The Virat Kohli-drove team got a 1-0 triumph in the ICC World Test Championship series against reigning champs New Zealand.

Virat Kohli got back to the Indian group for the Mumbai Test after a concise break. He flipped the coin toss and chose to bat first. A magnificent century from Mayank Agarwal and Axar Patel’s lady Test fifty assisted India with posting a 325-run complete in the first innings.

Ajaz Patel left a mark on the world at the Wankhede Stadium, turning into the first Kiwi bowler to take each of the 10 wickets in a single innings of a worldwide match. In any case, none of the other New Zealand players were just about as great as Ajaz in the Mumbai Test.

A frustrating presentation from the Kiwi hitters guaranteed India took a huge 263-run first-innings lead. Ravichandran Ashwin’s four-wicket pull assisted India with bowling New Zealand out for only 62 runs in the first innings.

Virat Kohli then, at that point, ruled against implementing a follow-on. The home side scored 276 runs in the subsequent innings, riding on Mayank Agarwal’s fifty and set a 540-run focus for the Blackcaps.

New Zealand’s batters performed better in the second innings. Daryl Mitchell scored a fifty, while Henry Nicholls totaled 44 runs. Although, their commitments were sufficiently not to prevent the Blackcaps from enduring their greatest loss in Test cricket history.

Ravichandran Ashwin and Jayant Yadav scalped four wickets each in the second innings as India bowled New Zealand out for 167 runs and won by 372 runs.

India’s points percentage has expanded from 50% to 58.33% after the triumph in Mumbai.
