2020 India Tour of New Zealand - Second Test @ Christchurch Feb 29 - March 02,2020 - New Zealand beat India by 7 wickets,win series 2-0 Monday March 02,2020

New Zealand won the second Test inside three days in Christchurch on Monday March 02,2020 to sweep the series

India started the day at 90 for six and were all out for 124, before New Zealand chased down the required 132 to win for the loss of three wickets in 36 overs.

 It ended a disappointing tour for India and Kohli as New Zealand, who won the first Test @ Wellington Feb 21-24,2020 by 10 wickets early on day four, wrapped up the series with ease.

New Zealand are now unbeaten in their last 13 home Tests, winning nine of them, and in the past decade their record as hosts is played 39, won 20, drawn 13 and lost five.

In the latest series, on traditional New Zealand green wickets, India managed scores of 165, 191, 242 and 124, reflecting the low contributions from Kohli of 2, 19, 3 and 14.

Series Highlights

242 - India's highest score in this series in the four innings. This is their second-lowest highest score in a series of two or more matches. In the 2002-03 series in New Zealand, India's highest in the series was only 161, which is the lowest

58 - The highest score by an India batsman in this series (Mayank Agarwal) - the lowest highest score in a series of two or more matches for India ever. In fact, the last time no India batsman scored a century in any series was back on the 2002-03 tour of New Zealand. India have played 60 Test series since then.

2011-12 - The last time India suffered a whitewash in a series of two or more Tests. India had 4-0 defeats in England and Australia back then. Prior to that, their last series whitewash was, again, in New Zealand - 2-0 in 2002-03. So, this is the first time India have been whitewashed in Tests under Virat Kohli.
