It's been a long time since New Zealand won in India, know when was the last time the Kiwi team won in India?

India vs New Zealand: After recently beating Bangladesh 2-0 in the two-match series, the Indian team now faces the challenge of New Zealand. Both the teams are playing the first match of the three-match Test series at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. From the point of view of the World Test Championship, this series is very important for both the teams. Team India is very strong at home and the team's statistics against New Zealand tell the story.

India's dominance at home can be gauged from the fact that it has not lost any Test series against the Kiwi team so far. The poor condition of the New Zealand team can be gauged from the fact that it won its last match in India in 1988. India has played a total of 12 Test series against New Zealand at home so far. The team has been successful in winning 10 of these series, while two series have ended in a draw.
