India vs New Zealand Live Score, 3rd Test Day 1: In the concluding Test of the series between India and New Zealand in Mumbai, New Zealand captain Tom Latham won the coin toss and chose to bat first on what he deemed a “fairly good pitch.” Latham emphasized the significance of scoring runs early to create pressure later in the match.
New Zealand made two alterations to their squad: spinner Mitchell Santner was sidelined due to a side injury and was substituted by leg-spinner Ish Sodhi, while Matt Henry returned from injury to take the place of pace bowler Tim Southee. Star batsman Kane Williamson remained unavailable as he continued to recuperate from a groin injury ahead of an upcoming home series against England.
India, down 2-0 in the series following defeats in Bengaluru and Pune, made one adjustment, with fast bowler Mohammed Siraj stepping in for the unwell Jasprit Bumrah. Captain Rohit Sharma acknowledged India’s subpar performance in the series but expressed optimism that this Test offered a chance for redemption.
New Zealand’s historic first Test series victory in India has already made waves, as they ended India’s home dominance of 18 consecutive series wins dating back to 2012. India will be striving for a morale-boosting win to prevent a series sweep and regain momentum ahead of their forthcoming tour of Australia.

New Zealand XI: Tom Latham (c), Devon Conway, Will Young, Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Blundell (w), Glenn Phillips, Ish Sodhi, Matt Henry, Ajaz Patel, William O’Rourke.
