Watch: Akash Deep receives standing ovation from Pune crowd after getting off the mark on 23rd ball

Team India's lower-order batter Akash Deep received a standing ovation from the crowd during the second innings of the second Test match. The response from the crowd came after Akash Deep scored his first run in the second innings at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Saturday.

Chasing a target of 359, the home team had got a disappointing start as Rohit Sharma was dismissed for just eight runs. The Men in Blue then got momentum with Yashasvi Jaiswal's impressive batting. However, they failed to put up a fight against the Kiwis' bowling attack after Jaiswal's dismissal.

Akash Deep Dismissed For Just Run In Second Innings

However, Akash Deep was dismissed the next ball he faced after scoring a single. The right-handed batter tried to play an aggressive shot against left-arm spinner Ajaz Patel. However, he failed to connect the shot well as the ball went straight into the hands of Rachin Ravindra, who was standing at long on.

Jasprit Bumrah came to bat at No. 11 in the fourth innings. Bumrah scored an unbeaten 10 runs off 4 balls, including one four and one six. Jadeja was the last batter to be dismissed in the India's second innings. The Men in Blue lost the home Test series for the first time since their loss to England in 2012.

Speaking after the match, Glenn Phillips expressed his excitement about New Zealand's historic victory over India. He shared how significant it was for the team to achieve this milestone. He acknowledged the challenges of playing in India, adding that every contribution turned into gold.

"Oh it is indescribable. For us to do it for the first time in our history, it is pretty hard to describe it. I mean obviously it has been a long time of trying to beat these Indian boys at their home." Phillips said.

"Glad that it finally played dividend here. It is tough to come here and adjust but the boys have been really proud of themselves."

"They are incredibly strong. For us to win and to learn and adapt in spin friendly conditions was fantastic. I wish it gets easy with time. But it's tough to comprehend how tough it is to win here. For us to adjust was great"

"At the end of the day, it was a golden run for him (Santner). It was just about holding an end for us. Whatever he did turned into gold," he added.
