New Zealand Stuns Cricket World with Historic Clean Sweep Against India at Home

MUMBAI, Oct 31, 2024 — New Zealand has made cricket history by completing a 3-0 clean sweep against India in their Test series, marking the first time India has been whitewashed at home since 1999-2000.

Chasing a target of 147 runs in the final match, the Indian team struggled and was bowled out for just 121 runs. New Zealand’s bowlers delivered outstanding performances, with Ajaz Patel taking 6 wickets and Glenn Phillips claiming 3.

This marks the first time since 1999 that India has faced a whitewash in a home series. It is particularly notable as it is the first instance in 25 years that India has been defeated 3-0 in a Test series on home soil.
