India suffered a massive defeat against New Zealand in the first Test encounter in Bengaluru on Sunday but the Rohit Sharma-led side was able to maintain its lead in the World Test Championship (WTC) Points Table. Following the loss, India have a PCT of 74.24.

On the other hand, New Zealand moved up to fourth with a PCT of 44.44 after they registered their first Test win in 36 years on Indian soil. Australia are second with 62.50 while Sri Lanka retained their position at three with a PCT of 55.56. Pakistan are currently in the eighth position with 25.93 while West Indies are last in the table.

New Zealand survived a hostile Jasprit Bumrah spell to foil India's attempt to add a final-day twist to an absorbing series-opener, slaying the cricketing giants at home by eight wickets and ending a 36-year long wait to taste Test success in the country in Bengaluru on Sunday.
