Team India’s captain Virat Kohli heaped praise on New Zealand after his team’s six-run victory in a high-scoring third and final ODI at Green Park Stadium, Kanpur on Sunday. In reply to India’s mammoth 337/6, the Kiwis mustered 331/7 as they fell short by seven runs.
“Credit to New Zealand. They challenged us in all three games and forced us to play our best in every game. Credit to the skill and character they possess,” Kohli said.
Kohli, who scored his 32nd ODI century and became the fastest to score 9,000 ODI runs, won the Man of the Series award with 263 runs under his belt.
