Sports Desk: The New Zealand captain expressed deep disappointment after losing two matches in a row in the ongoing T20I series against India. He mentioned that even though his team went to the edge of victory in this battle that went on till the end, they could not restrain the opposing batsmen at the crucial time. He opined that their bowlers failed to stop the momentum of the young Indian players who stood at the crease, and if they had dismissed one of them early, the result of the match would have been in our favour.
Speaking after the match, the Kiwis captain said that the fighting spirit shown by the Indian batsmen must be appreciated. He said that overcoming the pressure even in difficult situations and forming an excellent partnership made the match theirs.

He expressed his displeasure that he had to pay the price due to minor mistakes in the bowling department. The New Zealand captain expressed confidence that they will correct their mistakes in the remaining matches and make a strong comeback.
He believes that he will have to play more persistently in the next matches in order not to lose the series. He clarified that the form of the young players in the Indian team has become a challenge for them and they will change their strategies to overcome that difficulty. This intense battle between the two teams on the Kiwi soil is currently attracting intense interest in cricket circles.
