In the test history of India and New Zealand
Whenever the New Zealand team has toured India and played a Test series here, they have faced continuous setbacks. Here, let us tell the fans in simple words that the New Zealand team has not been able to win even a single bilateral Test series on Indian soil so far.
The Kiwis toured India for the first time in 1955 and lost the 5-match Test series 2–0. Three matches of this series were drawn. After this, the New Zealand team came to India in 1965 and this time too they did not get a chance to win even a single test. After this, India lost 1-0 in the 4 test match series. 3 Tests were drawn and then after 4 years i.e. in 1969, the Kiwi team toured India once and this time they won the first Test on Indian soil. This time New Zealand managed to level the 3-match Test series 1-1. This time also one match was a draw.
New Zealand team lost the last series
The last Test series between India and New Zealand was played in November 2021. This series took place on Indian soil only, where New Zealand had to face 1-0 defeat in the 2-match Test series. If we look at the overall Test series and match records, the Indian team has the upper hand in that too, but today's batting has raised concerns.
