Winning captain Kane Williamson: "Outstanding effort over the space of four days.
We know how
strong India are all around the world. The effort in the first innings and then a competitive total with
the bat was great. The lower order runs are important to get a bit of a lead. So allround team effort.
Didn't know what to expect from the pitch on the morning of the Test. Because it wasn't as windy this
week, there was a bit more swing. The bowlers were brilliant but a real collective effort. Jamieson
was brilliant. Through the summer, in white-ball cricket he's been valuable. So great debut for Kyle,
contributed in a number of ways. Southee's mindset wasn't of one with a point to prove. He just
wanted to lead with the ball. Having Boult at the other end would've been good for him too. Left-arm,
right-arm combination can be dangerous. We know India can bat for days, so the patience both of
them showed was great. Blundell's injury is alright, he said his pain level is 2/10, so that's fairly
good."
