.. India now have a group of batters that struggle like most teams against spin.
" Ex-West Indies fast bowler Ian Bishop "Amazing from New Zealand. A population of less than 6 million. No Kane Williamson.
They have conquered an unenviable task, and both men's and women's teams have had an historic and proud few weeks." Former India batsman Sachin Tendulkar "Losing 3-0 at home is a tough pill to swallow, and it calls for introspection. Was it lack of preparation, was it poor shot selection, or was it lack of match practice? "Full credit to New Zealand for their consistent performance throughout the series.
Winning 3-0 in India is as good a result as it can get." Former India seamer Irfan Pathan "This is (an) embarrassing display by team India at home. Lot to ponder over by the decision makers.
Well done New Zealand on such a terrific performance." Ex-India spinner Harbhajan Singh "Turning pitches becoming our own enemy. Congratulations NZ you outplayed us.
