Bengaluru, India: India captain Rohit Sharma said he was proud of his team for battling back from their lowest home total of 46 to make a match of the first Test against New Zealand, despite going down to an eight-wicket defeat on Sunday.

New Zealand chased down a tricky target of 107 after losing two early wickets to register their first Test win in India since 1988.

India were bowled out for their third lowest Test total in 31.2 overs on day two when Rohit chose to bat in overcast conditions.

But in the second innings, Sarfaraz Khan scored 150 and Rishabh Pant 99 as India posted 462.

"Second innings with the bat, to come out and play like that, it felt like we were ahead in the game at one stage," said Rohit.
