Satisfying to beat a quality side like India: Kane Williamson

Christchurch: New Zealand captain Kane Williamson on Monday said that it was quite satisfying for his team to leave behind their debacle in Australia and defeat a “quality” side like India in the two-match Test series.

“It’s an outstanding feeling. The surfaces in both the Tests were quite sporting. Bowlers had to put it in the right areas, but this pitch played well on all the days, even though history suggests it flattens out after doing a bit initially,” said Williamson at the post-match presentation ceremony.

“A fantastic series from outside and the way the guys stuck in. India are a world-class side and to beat them is quite satisfying,” he added.

The Black Caps skipper reserved rich praise for Kyle Jamieson who performed with bat and ball in both the Tests.

Jamieson picked nine wickets in the two Tests and also contributed with valuable 93 runs in the two innings he played in the series.

“Jamieson’s a very exciting talent and contributed incredibly well with both bat and ball in both games. He’s tall and gets bounce which is very helpful in these conditions,” said Williamson.

“The runs he scored in the backend of both games were very valuable. Great progress for him,” he added. IANS
