Kanpur: India dominated the last three days of the first Test against New Zealand, to beat the Kiwis by a massive 197 runs, at the Green Park in Kanpur, on Monday.

Spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja put in standout performances, to bowl out the New Zealand line up twice in the game. Having been put into bat after Tea on Day 4, New Zealand were set a target for 434 runs. No team has ever successfully chased down such a big total in the fourth innings, in India.

While the visitors did put up a valiant resistance for certain periods, in the end, the Indian bowlers proved too strong for them. Ashwin took six wickets in the second innings, to take his wickets tally for the match up to 10.

However, it was Ravindra Jadeja, who outshone all other, as he picked up a five-wicket-haul in the first innings, and also played a key role with the bat.

Here are the 10 wickets that the Indians took in New Zealand's second innings.
