- India's decision to bat first in overcast conditions backfired, resulting in a mere 46 runs in their first innings.
- Rohit Sharma acknowledged a misjudgment in pitch conditions, contributing to the team's poor performance.
- New Zealand's Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway excelled, with Ravindra scoring 173 runs, earning him the Man of the Match title.
- India's spinners, including Ashwin and Jadeja, struggled against New Zealand's batsmen, marking a rare underperformance on home soil.
- India aims to rebound in the upcoming Tests in Pune and Mumbai, focusing on leveraging their spin attack to regain dominance.
