After India recorded their worst-ever home score in their first innings and collapsed in their second, New Zealand needed just 107 runs to win on day fꦦive.
Bumrah attempted to put the pressure on, trap🌱ping Tom Latham lbw for a duck with just his second ball of the day then doing the same to Devon C🐈onway (17) to drop the tourists to 35-2.
However, Bumrah – who conceded just 29 runs through🐓 his eight overs with the ball – could only delay the inevitable as Will Young (49 not out) and Rachin Ravindra (39 not out) got New Zealand over the line.
Fresh from a century in the tourists' first innings, Ravindra hit two boundaries from the first three balls he fa🙈ced to silence a raucous crowd at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
Attacking the spinners for fear of rain interrupting their chase, the pair continued to hunt runs and Young sealed the deal with a foﷺur off Ravindra Jadeja in the 28th over.
Data Debrief: Rare triumph for Black Caps
New Zea🍸land's victory was just their third in red-ball cricket in India, following wins in 1969 and 19🌄88.
