It was a resounding first win as full-time captain for the 32-year-old, who replaced Tim Southee earlier this month.

India captain Rohit Sharma took positives from the way his side fought back in the second innings as they attempted to become the first team to win a Test after conceding a lead of more than 350 in the first innings.

“We didn’t think we would be 46 all out, but credit to New Zealand, it has set us back and these kinds of games will happen,” he said.

Sarfaraz Khan’s 150 and 99 from wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant helped India to 462 in their second innings to give the home bowlers a small total to defend on a last day throw that had to be covered due to rain overnight.

And Bumrah gave India a ray of hope when he removed Latham lbw with the second ball of the day.

He then trapped Devon Conway lbw after a successful review, but that was India’s last breakthrough.

First-innings centurion Ravindra hit six fours in his unbeaten 39 and was named player of the match, while Young hit the winning runs with his seventh four as he finished on 48.

“We have to take the good things further,” Rohit added as the second Test was set to begin in Pune on Thursday.

“We’ve been here before, conceding home losses, these things happen. We know what it takes and we’ll give it our all in the next two Tests.”

India have history on their side and have won 18 consecutive Test series on home soil dating back to 2012.
