New Zealand scored 259 runs in its first innings, in response to which Team India could score only 156 runs. On the basis of first innings, New Zealand had a lead of 103 runs. In the second innings, the New Zealand team was all out for 255 runs. However, scoring so many runs in the fourth innings is not easy but impossible. Which can be a big challenge for Team India. In the second innings, Jadeja took a total of 3 wickets while Washington Sundar also got 3 wickets.

India has achieved the target of more than 350 runs only once

A target of more than 350 has been successfully chased only once in Test cricket on Indian soil. This history was created by the Indian team under the leadership of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. In December 2008, India successfully chased a target of 387 runs against England in Chennai. In that match, Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar had scored a century (103 not out) and the Indian team was successful in winning the match by six wickets.
