The Black Caps have scored their first test win in India for 34 years with an eight wicket victory in Bengaluru in the first test.
The victory was only the third win in the history of the two nations in the sub-continent. The first in 1969 and the second 1988.

Rachin Ravindra on 39 not out and Will Young 48 took New Zealand to the 107 run target to win. But it wasn't plain sailing
Captain Tom Latham was dismissed for no score, lbw to Jasprit Bumrah when the total was one.
Devon Conway was also lbw to the same bowler for 17 leaving the Black Caps at 35-2 and with potential rain on the horizon a little bit of pressure being applied.
However after around 50 shots were played and missed it was Young who reassured the innings hitting one six and seven fours. Ravindra took a little bit longer to get going before hitting six fours.
Ravindra was voted man of the match after his 134 in the first innings and 39 not out in the second.
One standout statistic was that swing or seam bowlers took 17 of the 20 wickets which fell, 15 shared between Matt Henry and Will O'Rourke, the other two for Time Southee
The second test starts on Thursday in Pune.
