Here is how Cricketing fraternity reacted:
india supporters have gone from alarm clocks to alarm bells

Virat Kohli & Bumrah's form affecting the team!
Of course Kiwis had home advantage. More imp was how well they'd prepared to thwart threat from India's best players. Wearing down Bumrah & Shami with mix of defence & attack, use of short ball v Kohli, late swing v Pujara etc.Very impressive from team whitewashed by Aus recently

Top class bowlers couldn't find their line and length!
Why could NZ seamers get the ball to swing and deviate more than Indian seamers? Because on this surface wrist at an angle to swing the ball was needed. All three Indian seamers, though top class, are not really out & out swing bowlers.

Yeah! Let's hope for the best :|
India came here unbeaten in the test championship and were made to look very ordinary by NZ. I do believe that this Indian side can bounce back but they will have to play better cricket than this

Can't see them struggling this way!
That was quick from New Zealand. And very disappointing from India. It was always going to be very tough but this was a pack of cards. Just 47 in 17 overs. The disappointing away run continues!

At least India have avoided the ignominy of an innings defeat but I hope they don’t blame Day 1 conditions alone for their poor show.

You gotta feel good for SRH captain here & feel sad for Indian skipper! :(
Emphatic win for the They showed a lot of discipline and patience in executing their plans and outplayed India in all departments. India will be disappointed with their performance and I am sure they will introspect and bounce back strongly in Christchurch.

It depends on complete team work!
Comprehensively outplayed. Were in New Zealand long enough to get attuned. Yes, Kohli and Bumrah aren't in their best form but the openers need to set the game and that didn't happen. New Zealand were just the better side!
— Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha)
Second Test is going to be a great one!
With 4 days in hand you need to quickly instrospect and get back.

There is no debate NZ was the better team by a mile. If the Indians are mentally strong enough which I believe they are, time to get back and go better in the second Test. What is sport without challenges.
