India crushes New Zealand to reclaim top test ranking
Print Edition
INDIA crushed New Zealand by 178 runs in the second test yesterday to clinch the three-match series and reclaim top spot in the world rankings from Pakistan.
Chasing 376 for victory, the touring side was bundled out for 197 in fading light on the fourth day at Eden Gardens in Kolkata to give India an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series, having won the first test in Kanpur. India will return to the top of the International Cricket Council test rankings irrespective of the result of the third and final test in Indore which starts on Saturday. It was an all-round show from the Indian bowlers with spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja and fast bowler Mohammed Shami picking up three wickets each. New Zealand opener Tom Latham waged a lone battle, top-scoring for his side with a dogged 74.
