The Tom Latham: New Zealand wicketkeeper-batter Tom Blundell believes the Indian team has been left a bit shell-shocked in terms of happenings in the first two Tests at Bengaluru and Pune.

In the first two matches of the series, New Zealand got wins by eight wickets and 113 runs to take an unassailable 2-0 lead, making it their first-ever Test series win in India. It also meant a visiting team won a Test series in India after 12 years.

The Tom Latham-led New Zealand, who came after a 2-0 series defeat in Sri Lanka, are now aiming for a series sweep through the third Test at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, starting from Friday.
