Skipper Tom Latham: New Zealand were tasked with chasing down 107 on day five against India at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, but a menacing Jasprit Bumrah meant they had to earn their runs the hard way.

Apart from a Will Young being solid in his 48 not out, Rachin Ravindra – who made an excellent 134 in first innings - eased the New Zealand dressing room nerves through his free-flowing 39 not out as New Zealand completed the chase with eight wickets in hand to get their first Test win in India after 1988.

Skipper Tom Latham praised Ravindra for his sparkling knocks playing a pivotal role in New Zealand taking 1-0 lead in three-match series. “The partnership between Rachin and Tim put up ahead when the game was in the balance. We know the capability Tim had with the bat. It was nice to only chase a 100.”
