India succumbed to an eight-wicket defeat to New Zealand in the Test series opener at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Sunday (October 20). The result ended India's six-match winning streak which included the Men in Blue's 2-0 clean sweep over Bangladesh. It was also New Zealand's first win in a Test match on Indian soil in 36 years. The hosts were bundled out for their lowest Test total at home, getting all out for 46 in the first innings with 5 Indian batters, including Virat Kohli, getting out without scoring.
Kohli did score 70 in the second innings where India posted 462 but could not prevent India from losing the match. With the two teams set to square off in Pune on October for the second Test match, most of Virat's teammates flew directly to the city but India's preferred number 4 flew off to Mumbai to spend with his family.
