India vs New Zealand Series 2020: Stats, Records & Performances: A new low for Team India, Virat Kohli

New Delhi, March 2: A dominant New Zealand put up another stellar show as they defeated listless India by seven wickets in the second Test at Hagley Oval in New Zealand on Monday (March 2).

With this win, the Kane Williamson-led side clean swept the two-Test series and handed Team India their first-ever whitewash in the longer format in eight years. The second Test folded in just three-days as the much-vaunted Indian batting line-up surrendered against a quality Kiwi pace attack.

Team India started the tour on a promising note as they defeated the Kiwis 5-nil in the T20I series and became the first team to do a 5-0 series sweep. But their fortunes took a 180-degree turn from then on as they lost the ODI and Test series 3-0 and 2-0 respectively.
