After India’s comprehensive 3-0 series win against New Zealand, the head coach Rahul Dravid on Sunday said he is impressed with his team’s performance throughout the three matches but they have to keep their feet on the ground and need to be realistic about the victory. Rohit Sharma’s fantastic fifty and a clinical bowling performance led by Axar Patel (3-9), powered India to a convincing 73-run win over New Zealand in the third and final T20I, helping the hosts complete a 3-0 clean sweep in the three-match series at the iconic Eden Gardens on Sunday.
Speaking after the win, India coach said NZ had arrived immediately after a World Cup final loss and it wasn’t easy for the visitors to play back-to-back matches. “It was a good series win. Everyone played well right through the series. It feels good, nice to start well. We are realistic. We have to keep our feet on the ground and be a bit realistic about this win. Not easy for NZ to play a World Cup final and then to turn up three days later to play three games in six days, was never going to be easy for them,” said Dravid. “Nice from our perspective but we have to learn from this series and move forward. It’s a long journey ahead over the next 10 months and we’ll have our share of ups and downs.”
