T20 World Cup: Since October, New Zealand cricket has been on a roll. The women’s team won the 2024 T20 World Cup in the UAE. On the same day, the Tom Latham-led men’s team beat India by eight wickets in Bengaluru to get their first Test win in the country since 1988.

It was followed by them ending India’s 18-series winning streak at home in Pune with a 113-run victory. Now, at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, New Zealand scripted history with a 25-run win over India to hand the Rohit Sharma-led side their first-ever 3-0 clean sweep in Test series at home since South Africa did so in 1999/2000.

The magnitude of what New Zealand achieved left skipper Tom Latham delighted. "Very, very ecstatic. Looking back at the start of the series and to be in this position. Boys have done a very good job and to finally to do it here in Mumbai, we were challenged with bat and ball.
