Williamson said the Kiwi batsmen did not justify to lose eight 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 large 190-run defeat within the 5th and final ODI.

"Unfortunately, occasionally the biggest, brightest lessons come from failures and defeats. I indisputably hope to be informed from here. It used to be extremely a just right effort to take it to the 5th ODI however sitting here finally that, it is irritating. The better workforce indisputably won as of late.

"We indisputably were not just right as of late. No excuses. India have been simply the easier facet. They have been consistent right through the series," he added.

Ranked forward of India through one rung, world no. 3 New Zealand showed resilience to dance again after a Zero-3 whitewash within the Test series as they'd leveled the five-match ODI rubber 2-2 with a 19-run win in Ranchi.

"Yeah, it is extremely disappointing. You know, after a tough Test series to dance again and show the center that used to be required, the combat that we had to pass 2-all in opposition to a very good Indian facet, used to be a excellent effort," Williamson said.

"They were given above-par first of all with the bat on a tough floor. There are indisputably no excuses from our finish, we have been extremely poor with the bat as of late," he said.

A win would have been made history for the Black Caps, who have by no means beaten India at house previous in 4 contests.

The Kiwi skipper said it's all about regrouping after going again house when they host Pakistan for 2 Tests earlier than a packed ODI calendar involving Australia, Bangladesh, South Africa and the Champions Trophy in June subsequent year.

"Yeah, it is tricky to say this present day. We're going to return house and play in very different prerequisites. At the instant we want to mirror on our efficiency here. We have been slightly disappointing, barring a few video games. We want to be showing steps of growth everyday," Williamson said.

He further credited India for putting in a challenging 270-run target on a tough batting floor at the Dr YSR ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium here.

"Ideally we would've favored to have restricted them to much less. The manner the put in combination partnerships on a pitch that used to be slow used to be a very good effort. They saved going at five runs an over on this pitch, they indisputably deserved to win as of late. They have been incredible," he said.

Opener Rohit Sharma returned amongst runs with a effective 70, whilst an ever-consistent Virat Kohli slammed 65 earlier than Mahendra Singh Dhoni (41), Kedar Jadhav (39 now not out) contributed to take India to 269 for six after electing to bat.

"They had a just right rating on the board on that floor, however we knew that if lets get partnerships in combination, who knows, lets've achieved better," Williamson said.

Despite the losses, Williamson identified at the positives they would take house from tour.

"He (Mitchell Santner) has been exceptional. Certainly a spotlight from our tour. A young cricketer, who's newish to our facet. Although prerequisites have been beneficial to spinners here there are numerous spinners who come here and fight.

"I guess it is on account of the pace of the wicket in opposition to extremely just right players of spin. Mitch (Santner) has carried out day in and day out. He's a great asset to have. Not to mention his batting and his fielding as well. Look ahead to seeing his development in the future,' he said.

"I feel Tom Latham used to be exceptional. We wish to take those little just right bits and take a look at any individual like Virat (Kohli)."

Ross Taylor has had a forgetful trip now not simplest with his bat however with his fielding as well however Williamson came out in defence of the senior batsman.

"I feel in the event you take a look at any winning efficiency, there are one or two vital performances. If you take a look at the India facet, there is Virat (Kohli). I feel pretty much every recreation he made vital contributions for his facet. Sometimes the prerequisites were not splendid to play on however any individual has to step up and whoever that person is, we need much more," he said.

Williamson used to be New Zealand's top-scorer of the day with 27 earlier than being brushed aside through an expansive inside-out shot that brought on the collapse.


"It is a tough one. You feel find it irresistible's a just right way to play that shot and in the event you get out, you question it. Here I'm questioning it," he said.


"For Ross (Taylor) and I to take it deeper, it could've been significantly better for our cause. Obviously, it wasn't taking place for us as of late. We each were given brushed aside once we needed at least one in every of us to hold in there and take the sport deep."


He additionally praised Indian spinner Amit Mishra's match-winning efficiency each within the decider and the series.


"To get fifer for any bowler on any floor is an important efficiency. He (Mishra) bowled very well as of late. I feel it is justified in him getting the man-of-the-match and the man-of-the-series. He has been very consistent. We have been poor and India have been very good," Williamson signed off.
