The home side was a wicket away from registering a victory but Ajaz Patel and Rachin Ravindra's solid defense helped the Blackcaps pull off a draw.With nine wickets needed to win, India entered the fifth day as the favorites to come through this match. Given how India have performed in home Tests, many believed the Test would end in two or two and a half sessions.But New Zealand frustrated the Indian bowlers. Tom Latham worked hard for a 146-ball 52, while night watchman William Somerville aggregated 36 runs off 110 deliveries. Captain Kane Williamson scored 24 runs at a strike rate of 21.43.Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin kept India's hopes of a win alive by taking some wickets in the second half of the day. New Zealand were down from 125/3 at 63 overs to 155/9 at 89.2 overs.Rachin Ravindra and Ajaz Patel, however, had other ideas. The duo survived almost nine overs in the middle to deny India a victory. Ravindra remained unbeaten on 18 runs off 91 deliveries. His partner Patel scored only two runs off 23 balls.Jadeja was the best bowler for India on the fifth day, accounting for four wickets.
