On a deteriorating pitch that provided sharp turn and inconsistent bounce, the spinners maintained their dominance with another fruitful day. After New Zealand had limited India to 263 in their first innings, holding a narrow 28-run lead despite contrasting half-centuries from Shubman Gill (90) and Rishabh Pant (60), the hosts made a strong comeback with the help of Ashwin and Jadeja.

Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill put together a half-century partnership for the second wicket, with Jaiswal surviving some tense moments to score 30 runs off 52 balls, including four boundaries. They added 53 runs together before Jaiswal was bowled by Ajaz Patel while attempting a reverse sweep. India's woes deepened when nightwatchman Mohammed Siraj was trapped LBW by Patel for a golden duck, followed by Virat Kohli's run-out for just four runs.

If the hosts endured their first defeat after 18 consecutive Test series victories, New Zealand celebrated their first ever series-victory on the Indian soil in nearly 70 years.

Ravindra impressed with 13 fours and four sixes in his 157-ball innings, marking his second international century in Bengaluru, the city of his family’s roots. He also contributed to a vital 137-run partnership for the eighth wicket with Tim Southee, who scored 65 off 73 balls. This partnership is now tied for the highest eighth-wicket partnership for New Zealand in Tests against India.

"We were in a tough spot at that moment, with the score at 144/6. The wicket was challenging, and we lost several wickets quickly in the first session. However, Ash (Ashwin) and I managed to build a partnership that became the turning point, allowing us to make a comeback in the match," Jadeja said in a video posted on bcci.tv
