Manjrekar: Beating India in two different conditions is a remarkable feat (1:52)

Sanjay Manjrekar on New Zealand's historic series win against India (1:52)

18 Consecutive Test series wins for India at home before their series defeat to New Zealand. No other team had won more than ten successive Test series at home. India's previous series defeat came against England in 2012.

It is also the second-longest unbeaten series streak for any team at home in Test cricket, behind Australia's 28 series between 1992-93 and 2008-09.

1 New Zealand's series win against India is their first on the Indian soil in Test cricket. Before this series, New Zealand had only two Test wins in India - in Nagpur in 1969 and at Wankhede in 1988.

It was also New Zealand's first bilateral series win away from home in the World Test Championship, having not won any of their previous seven such series.

3 New Zealand players with six-plus wicket hauls in both innings of a Test match, including Mitchell Santner. Richard Hadlee against Australia in Brisbane in 1985 and Daniel Vettori against Bangladesh in Chattogram in 2004 are the other New Zealand bowlers with multiple six-wicket hauls in a Test.

13 for 157 Santner's bowling figures in Pune are the third-best match figures for New Zealand in a men's Test. Hadlee took 15 for 123 against Australia in 1985, while Ajaz Patel claimed 14 for 225 against India in 2021 at the Wankhede.

Santner's match figures are also the third-best by any bowler in a men's Test against India, behind Ajaz's 14 for 225 and Ian Botham's 13 for 103 at Wankhede in 1980.

3 Test defeats for India in 2024 - two against New Zealand this month and against England in January. Only twice before did India lose three or more Tests at home in a calendar year - Four in 1969 and three in 1983.

4 Test defeats at home for India under Rohit Sharma, the joint-second most behind MAK Pataudi's nine losses. Mohammad Azharuddin and Kapil Dev also lost four Tests at home while leading India.

37 Wickets by spinners in Pune. Only twice did the spinners claim more wickets in a men's Test - 38 by Sri Lanka and England in Pallekele in 2018 and by Bangladesh and Afghanistan in Chattogram in 2019. Spinners also took 37 wickets in the 1969 Nagpur Test between India and New Zealand.

The New Zealand spinners collectively took 18 wickets in Pune, their second-most in a Test match, behind the 19 in the 1969 Nagpur Test.

11 for 115 Washington Sundar's bowling figures in Pune are the second-best by an Indian in a losing cause. Javagal Srinath took 13 for 132 against Pakistan at the Eden Gardens in 1999, which India lost by 46 runs.

1056 Runs scored by Yashasvi Jaiswal in Tests at home in 2024. These are the most runs scored by any batter in a calendar year in Tests in India, surpassing Gundappa Viswanath's 1047 runs in 1979.

4 Players with 2000-plus runs and 200-plus wickets in Tests at home. Ravindra Jadeja joined Ian Botham, Kapil Dev and Stuart Broad on Saturday after completing 2000 Test runs at home.
