VISAKHAPATNAM: Bruised and battered by means of India after being bundled out for a meagre 79 whilst chasing 270 in the series-deciding fifth and ultimate ODI, New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson lately termed the performance of his batting department as "frustrating".
Williamson said the Kiwi batsmen didn't justify to lose 8 wickets for simply 16 runs.
"That's what's so frustrating, because we failed as a batting unit. The spinners of the Indian side bowled very well but I don't think it is justified to lose 8 wickets for 16 runs. We need to look at some of our plans. There was turn in the pitch in some other games too but we were able to handle it better then," Williamson said after their huge 190-run defeat in the fifth and ultimate ODI.
"Unfortunately, on occasion the biggest, brightest lessons come from failures and defeats. I indubitably hope to learn from here. It used to be extraordinarily a excellent effort to take it to the fifth ODI but sitting here in spite of everything that, it's irritating. The higher group indubitably won lately.
"We indubitably were not excellent lately. No excuses. India were simply the better side. They were consistent during the sequence," he added.
Ranked ahead of India by means of one rung, international no. Three New Zealand showed resilience to bounce back after a Zero-Three whitewash in the Test sequence as they'd leveled the five-match ODI rubber 2-2 with a 19-run win in Ranchi.
"Yeah, it's extraordinarily disappointing. You know, after a tricky Test sequence to bounce back and show the guts that used to be required, the struggle that we had to move 2-all against an excellent Indian side, used to be a excellent effort," Williamson said.
"They were given above-par first of all with the bat on a tricky floor. There are indubitably no excuses from our end, we were extraordinarily poor with the bat lately," he said.
A win would had been made history for the Black Caps, who've by no means crushed India at home previous in four contests.
The Kiwi skipper said it's all about regrouping after going back home after they host Pakistan for two Tests earlier than a packed ODI calendar involving Australia, Bangladesh, South Africa and the Champions Trophy in June subsequent 12 months.
"Yeah, it's difficult to say these days. We're going to go back home and play in very different stipulations. At the instant we wish to replicate on our performance here. We were fairly disappointing, barring a couple of video games. We wish to be showing steps of growth on a regular basis," Williamson said.
He further credited India for putting in a difficult 270-run target on a tricky batting floor at the Dr YSR ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium here.
"Ideally we'd've preferred to have restricted them to a lot much less. The way the put in combination partnerships on a pitch that used to be gradual used to be an excellent effort. They saved going at 5 runs an over on this pitch, they indubitably deserved to win lately. They were incredible," he said.
Opener Rohit Sharma returned amongst runs with a advantageous 70, whilst an ever-consistent Virat Kohli slammed 65 earlier than Mahendra Singh Dhoni (41), Kedar Jadhav (39 no longer out) contributed to take India to 269 for six after electing to bat.
"They had a excellent ranking at the board on that floor, but we knew that if we could get partnerships in combination, who is aware of, we could've finished higher," Williamson said.
Despite the losses, Williamson identified at the positives they might take home from tour.
"He (Mitchell Santner) has been outstanding. Certainly a highlight from our tour. A tender cricketer, who is newish to our side. Although stipulations were favourable to spinners here there are numerous spinners who come here and combat.
"I guess it's on account of the pace of the wicket against extraordinarily excellent players of spin. Mitch (Santner) has carried out day in and time out. He's an excellent asset to have. Not to mention his batting and his fielding as well. Look ahead to seeing his progression someday,' he said.
"I feel Tom Latham used to be outstanding. We want to take the ones little excellent bits and look at someone like Virat (Kohli)."
Ross Taylor has had a forgetful trip no longer only together with his bat but together with his fielding as well but Williamson got here out in defence of the senior batsman.
"I feel when you look at any profitable performance, there are one or two important performances. If you look at the India side, there may be Virat (Kohli). I feel pretty much every game he made important contributions for his side. Sometimes the stipulations were not perfect to play on but someone has to step up and whoever that individual is, we'd like a lot more," he said.
Williamson used to be New Zealand's top-scorer of the day with 27 earlier than being dismissed by means of an expansive inside-out shot that caused the collapse.
"It is a tricky one. You feel find it irresistible's a excellent solution to play that shot and when you get out, you question it. Here I'm questioning it," he said.
"For Ross (Taylor) and I to take it deeper, it might've been much better for our purpose. Obviously, it wasn't taking place for us lately. We both were given dismissed once we wanted at least one in all us to hold in there and take the game deep."
He additionally praised Indian spinner Amit Mishra's match-winning performance both in the decider and the sequence.
"To get fifer for any bowler on any floor is a vital performance. He (Mishra) bowled very well lately. I feel it's justified in him getting the man-of-the-match and the man-of-the-series. He has been very consistent. We were poor and India were superb," Williamson signed off.
