India's totals in four innings of two Tests played on turning tracks in Pune and Mumbai read 156, 245, 263 and 121. New Zealand, who emerged victorious in the first Test in Bengaluru, won the next two matches as well to become the first team to whitewash India at home in a three-Test series.
The embarrassing 46 all out in the first innings of the opening Test in Bengaluru was largely because of India's decision to bat first in overcast and rainy conditions backfiring. But the batting failures in Pune and Mumbai were abject surrender against spin.
