A win in New Zealand is laudable, writes Rohit Mahajan in Outlook, but plain tracks, plainer opposition call for temperance. India achieved their goal of winning in New Zealand after more than 41 years but the writer says it might be prudent to pause and ponder that the hosts are ranked eighth in the world. Over the last five years, they've lost nine of 19 Tests and haven't beaten a big team in a series since 2004-05. India should have really crushed them, feel some.
