‘Less emphasis … ‘: Ex-cricketer to India batters on handling spin
Mitchell Santner’s exceptional bowling led New Zealand to their first-ever Test series win in India with a 113-run victory in Pune. Santner’s standout 7-53 spell in the first innings set the stage for the triumph, marking India’s first home series defeat since 2012. India and New Zealand will now head to Mumbai for the third and final Test, beginning November 1, at the Wankhede Stadium.
