The Black Caps have broken a 36-year drought and secured an eight-wicket victory over India in Bengaluru.

Their performance has been regarded as one of New Zealand's best wins in almost 95 years of test cricket.

Black Caps coach Gary Stead says a lucky toss, a strong lead and a solid performance from the guys helped them achieve this historic victory.

"I thought the guys played really well throughout - and it's always nice to put India under pressure, cause they're a really tough team to beat."
