Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and V V S Laxman have probably played their last Test on New Zealand soil.
So a maiden win in the country must be something very special, very satisfying.
It may not have dawned upon them, but these three and Virender Sehwag feature in an elite list of cricketers who have been part of at least one win in each Test-playing nation.
The following table has the details.
