India captain Virat Kohli says the bowler-friendly conditions made them "nervous" after losing the toss before prevailing against New Zealand in the series-deciding third Twenty20 here tonight. India beat New Zealand by six runs in the rain-curtailed match to claim the series 2-1. India had beaten the Kiwis in ODIs with the same scoreline. "I think we were really happy to get a game. This crowd deserved to watch some action. Ever since the ODIs started, we expected them to give a good fight. We were nervous to start here, with the damp pitch," said Kohli after India won the eight overs a side contest.
