New Zealand bowled India out for 121 to seal a 25-run win in the third and final test in Mumbai on Sunday and complete a famous 3-0 series sweep.

Chasing 147 for victory, India capitulated on a tricky pitch at the Wankhede Stadium to be blanked at home for the first time since a 2-0 defeat by South Africa in 2000.

Ajaz Patel took 6-57 for the tourists, who secured their maiden series win in India going back to 1955 and also snapped the hosts' home streak of 18 straight series triumphs since a 2-1 loss to England in 2012.
