NZ skipper Latham lauds team for greatest series win

MUMBAI: New Zealand captain Tom Latham was lost for words following his team’s stunning 3-0 triumph in India on Sunday but had no doubt that it was their greatest series victory.

With their 25-run victory in the final match the Black Caps became the first team to whitewash India at home in a series featuring three or more tests.

“I’m lost for words a bit, in terms of what’s happened over the last three days but also the last three weeks,” Latham told reporters.

“If you asked me at the start of the tour whether I’d be in this position, I would have liked to be in this position, but to be here now and play the cricket that we’ve played is really special and I’m really proud of the group.
