The return of New Zealand pace spearheads Tim Southee and Trent Boult and the introduction of 2.03m-tall debutant Kyle Jamieson proved crucial against the tourists, also the world’s top-ranked Test side. They exploited a tricky Basin Reserve wicket to bowl India out for less than 200 twice, with Jamieson’s height and delivery angle providing plenty of problems.
“It was a great win and to beat a quality Indian side is very pleasing,” said Southee, named man of the match for figures of 9/110. Kohli held his hand up and conceded his side had not been good enough but added that it was only one defeat. “Some people might want it to be the end of the world, but it’s not. For us it’s a game of cricket,” he said. “We lost and we move on, we keep our heads high.”
