The first Test had ended in a draw. Reacting to India’s biggest-ever win in terms of run-margin, Former Indian cricketer VVS Laxman tweeted, “Resounding win for India in their own backyard, comprehensively outclassed New Zealand on a track with turn and bounce.

Very very difficult to beat at home,” wrote Harsha Bhogle, Indian cricket commentator and journalist. Talking about the strength of the Indian cricket team at home, former cricketer Parthiv Patel tweeted,“India ko India main harana namumkin Hai!

14th consecutive Test series win at home. Enviable record. India is the modern day ‘final frontier’ for the teams across the world.
A gentle reminder that India were missing 6 players from the first playing XI for the first Test at Kanpur and 5 in Mumbai. #IndvNZ

MoM Ajaz Patel even though NZ lost Test. Taking 10 wickets in an innings is virtuoso perform. Man of Series for me @ashwinravi99. Not just for bagful of wickets but psychological grip he had on Kiwi batsmen. Agarwal would run Ashwin close magnificent knocks in Mumbai. Your take?
