Captains’ Words:

Both the captains reflected on the game as they prepare for the upcoming T20I series which starts on January 27.

India Captain Rohit Sharma:

“I thought in the last six games we played we did most part rights and that is the key in 50-over games. We were consistent too. Without Siraj and Shami I knew we wanted to give chances to people on the bench. Wanted to get Chahal and Umran in the mix. We wanted to see how they react under pressure. I don’t think any score is safe here. Shardul has been doing it for a while. People call him magician in the squad. Just need to get more games under his belt. The wrist spinners get better with game time. Gill’s approach is quite similar. As a youngster, coming into the team and have that attitude is great. I’ve been batting well, so it was just about going that extra mile. The pitch was good today.”

New Zealand Captain Tom Latham:

“I think the start with the ball wasn’t great. Fantastic partnership, but we pulled it back to 380. We were in a great position in the chase, but we lost too many wickets. This is our last experience before the World Cup, so we have got an idea. We wanted to build depth and it’s been a great experience for everyone. The more you are in these situations, the more you learn.”
