Sarfaraz Khan's maiden century and Rishabh Pant's 99 is unlikely to prevent New Zealand from earning their first-ever Test match victory on Indian soil in 36 years with only 107 runs to get on the final day of an intriguing start-stop series opener.
Tom Latham (0) and Devon Conway (0) were at crease when bad light and rain forced early stumps on fourth evening.
The last time New Zealand won a Test match in India was way back in 1989 when Sir Richard Hadlee was still an active Test cricketer and got 10 wickets at the Wankhede to ensure a huge 136-run win. Latham's team is on the cusp of history despite a gallant fightback from India to score 462 in their second innings largely due to Sarfaraz's brilliant 150 off 195 balls and a stand of 177 with a half-fit Rishabh Pant, who missed his seventh Test hundred by one.
