India needed to take the last five wickets on the fourth day of the second Test of the series to defeat New Zealand and Jayant Yadav took it upon himself to bring about a complete demolition of the Blackcaps batting order.
He first got the better of Rachin Ravindra and followed it up with the wickets of Kyle Jamieson, Tim Southee and William Somerville to come closer to a five-wicket haul. However, his off-spinner teammate Ravichandran Ashwin dismissed New Zealand’s last wicket in the form of Henry Nicholls to end the game inside the first session of the fourth day.
India had set New Zealand a massive target of 540 runs and did not give them any sniff on the Wankhede Stadium surface that offered plenty of assistance to the spinners.
