Ranchi: An elated New Zealand captain Kane Williamson said that 260 was a good score and the total was possible due to having partnerships.
"Absolutely happy and proud. What we wanted was build partnerships. It was not an easy surface. Although you always want more, 260 was not a bad effort on that surface," said Williamson.
Asked why he went for batting first after winning the toss in day/night matches, a choice against general trend in India, Williamson said, "Coming here, we had to decide between dew that may or may not come in versus the deterioration of the surface. The dew didn't come in, so that perhaps worked in our favour," he said.
On the decisions to drop Corey Anderson and Luke Ronchi, he said: "We have played on different surfaces so that affects selection. Also it has been a long tour. It's exciting to go 2-2 in the series. India are a great side, it is exciting to go level into the final match."
Man-of-the-Match Martin Guptill said, "It certainly is a great feeling. To put up a performance myself and give the team a defendable total is satisfying. We thought we could have got more but it was a defendable total. It came down to our bowlers to do the job, and they did. Virat is a class player and to get him early was a big step," said Guptill.
