Historic ten-wicket win for India over NZ

India posted a historic ten-wicket win at Seddon Park here on Saturday their first in New Zealand since 1967-68 u00e2u0080u0093 to boost their overseas record which has been on the rise since 2001.

The current Indian team have now won a Test in every country. New Zealand was the only nation missing on the sheet.

Critics believed Mahendra Singh Dhoni should have achieved an innings win this morning and his faith in Yuvraj Singh's left-arm spinners attracted criticism.

Going into Day Four with 75 for three, NZ ended up scoring 279. Brendon McCullum, who was in fine fettle during the limited overs series, continued his rich vein of form to score 84 before he was consumed by Yuvraj Singh. Interestingly, the Kiwis scored the same amount of runs as they did in the first innings. But this time, there were no centurions in Jesse Ryder and skipper Daniel Vettori. Both were dismissed by Harbhajan, who ended up as the pick of the Indian bowlers with six for 63. Seamer Munaf Patel got a couple.

Earlier, India scored 520 in their first innings on the back of Sachin Tendulkar's wondrous 160.
