AshwinâÂu00c2u0080Âu00c2u0088and Jadeja: 41 wickets; all New Zealand bowlers: 42 wickets. This mind-boggling stat shows the way India dominated the series throughout. But the best part about this series was the fact that pitches weren't dustbowls. In fact, all three pitches were of a different nature including the one in Kolkata, which suited the visitors a lot more than the hosts. The first game in Kanpur was on a slightly spin-friendly pitch that tested batsmen's skills against spin.
