The way India started the New Zealand tour nobody would have ever imagined for such a drastic end. India struggled during the ODI series where they were clean swept and now, they have been whitewashed in the Test series as well. New Zealand captain Kane Williamson was delighted as their win in the two formats might have led them to forget the disappointing 5-0 defeat in the T20I format.
The host won the first Test match by 10 wickets while they repeated their dominance in the second Test match, winning it comprehensively by seven wickets.
Besides, New Zealand bowling attack had left India batters to struggle on the bouncy pitches of Hagley Oval and Basin Reserve respectively.
Kane Williamson ecstatic with Christchurch win over India:
After the match, Williamson admitted that he is quite satisfied with their series win over the world-class Indian team.
“Outstanding feeling. A fantastic series from outside and the way the guys stuck in. India is a world-class side and to beat them is quite satisfying. Fairly sporting surfaces in both Tests. I don’t think the end result shows how tight that match was,” Williamson said at the post-match presentation, reported Cricbuzz.
New Zealand vs India 2020: Kyle Jamieson is New Zealand’s star –
The tall pacer Kyle Jamieson had the memorable Test debut series. He was awarded the Man of the Match in Christchurch where he picked five wickets and scored 49 runs.
Williamson has praised the youngster’s impressive performance while donning whites.
Jamieson’s a very exciting talent and contributed incredibly well with both bat and ball in both games. He’s tall and gets bounce which is very helpful in these conditions. The runs he scored in the backend of both games were very valuable. Great progress for him,” Williamson added.
Virat Kohli and his men were exposed in the front of one of the best bowling line ups. They will surely sit and look back on the mistakes they have committed on Kiwis shores.
