Tom Latham said this after the victory against India
New Zealand captain Tom Latham is very happy after winning the Test series against India. The team had earlier suffered a humiliating 2-0 defeat in Sri Lanka, and the intention with which the team had come to India has been successful. Latham also praised Mitchell Santner’s bowling.
It’s really a very special feeling. Proud to be in this position. The entire team put in effort and everyone worked together. When you come here you want to be at your best. It was really important to score runs early. Mitchell Santner was brilliant. He has been in the group for a long time and finally he got his chance and the way he bowled – credit to him. The way Glenn Phillips played this morning was really important. We knew that India would perform brilliantly. We didn’t know that they would perform so well, but we managed to get through the middle session. It took a long time to take the last two wickets but when Tim took the catch we were really happy.
