India beat New Zealand, end 41 year wait
The Indians paid dearly for their overcautious approach as rain robbed them of a victory in the third and final Test against New Zealand at the Basin Reserve here on Tuesday.
However, having won the first match in Hamilton, India secured the series 1-0, the first in New Zealand since 1967-68.
It rounded off a good tour for captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni though — India had earlier won the one-day series 3-1, their first in the shorter version of the game in New Zealand.
The scoreline should have read 2-0 in Tests but the defensive decision to bat on despite a 531-run lead on the fourth morning costed India heavily.
