In Pics: Team India register emphatic win over New Zealand in Kanpur Test

Kanpur, Sep 26: India notched up a mammoth 197-run win in their historic 500th cricket Test to assert their supremacy in home conditions, bowling out New Zealand for 236 to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series here today (Sep 26).

After setting the Kiwis a rather improbable target of 434, the Indian bowlers, especially senior off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin (6/132), revelled in home conditions to rip through the visiting team's line-up with more than a session to spare.

The visitors, chasing a mammoth 434-run target, had a daunting task at hand to bat out three full sessions on the fifth day, which has always been a big challenge for tourists in India. (Twitterati hail Ashwin, Jadeja)

With this win, India have taken their unbeaten tally on home soil to 11 matches.
