In a hard-fought encounter at Kanpur, it was team India who triumphed over New Zealand to seal the ODI series by a margin of 2-1. Commendable<\/h2>\n
\n

performances by Jasprit Bumrah and exquisite batting by opener Rohit Sharma and skipper Virat Kohli set the platform for India\u2019s seventh consecutive bilateral<\/p>\n

series win. Expressing satisfaction over the win, Virat Kohli credited the visitors for putting up a spirited performance and stated that he is now looking ahead to<\/p>\n

the next challenge which begins with the first T20I on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a pretty close game. Credit to New Zealand, they fought hard in this series and forced us to play our best cricket. Credit to the skill and character they<\/p>\n

possess. You\u2019ve to tell yourself that the bowler knows best because he too wants to win the game. With the dew like it was, sometimes it feels even 22 fielders<\/p>\n

won\u2019t be enough. Glad the guys pulled it through.\u201d, said, Kohli, while speaking at the post-match presentation.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the nature of the wicket, Kohli said, \u201cThe wicket eased out in the second half, and it was coming on beautifully. It was good to bat even during<\/p>\n

our innings but it slowed down considerably. The aim is always to help the team win games, regardless of how many runs I score. Very happy we could get<\/p>\n

another one in the bag, and move forward to the T20s.\u201d<\/p>\n

For his brilliant 147, Rohit Sharma was awarded the man of the match. Sharma also expressed satisfaction for being able to contribute to the team\u2019s win and<\/p>\n

said, \u201cFeels good when your team wins and you contribute to it. Pretty happy with the way we played throughout the series. NZ were competitive throughout.<\/p>\n

We had to be at our best to win. After the innings break, considering the kind of threat they bring to the table, it\u2019s important to understand your game and play<\/p>\n

accordingly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Revealing how he sorted out his drawbacks, Sharma said, \u201cPre-match analysis helped me to see where my head was falling. My head was falling a bit earlier, not<\/p>\n

coming in line. Today was a perfect day. There was lots of dew, credit to the bowlers who stuck to their plans. Every hundred is special. I was just trying to do<\/p>\n

certain things and it came out pretty well.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
