Mumbai: <\/strong>Skipper Tom Latham’s joy knew no bounds after leading New Zealand to historic 3-0 clean sweep over India in the three-match Test series, saying his players rose to occasion by being aggressive with the bat and proactive with the ball.<\/p>\n

India faced a humiliating 0-3 defeat at home for the first time ever after losing the third Test by 25 runs. Set a target of 147, India were all out for 121.<\/p>\n

“Very very ecstatic. Looking back at the start of the series and to be in this position, boys have done a very good job and to finally to do it here in Mumbai, we were challenged with bat and ball. Very happy,” Latham said at the post-match presentation ceremony.<\/p>\n

“Just being able to adapt to each ground. There is no one way of doing things – the seamers did the job in Bangalore, different guys stood up at different times. More contributions we were looking for.<\/p>\n

“Last week it was Mitch (Mitchell), this time it was Ajaz (Patel). We wanted to come here and try and fire a few shots. Tried to be aggressive with the bat, be proactive and with the ball, keep it simple.” New Zealand came into the series after losing 0-2 to Sri Lanka in an away rubber, but Latham said they didn’t play badly against Islanders.<\/p>\n

“I don’t think we played all that bad over there. Fell on the right side of the toss in these conditions and put enough runs on the board. When you are chasing a target on a tricky wicket, it is important to have runs on the board.” He also lauded New Zealand women’s team for winning the recently-concluded T20 World Cup<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Girls winning the World Cup was fantastic, being in this position, we can only brag once we get to this position,” Latham said.<\/p>\n

Player-of-the-match Ajaz Patel, who returned with a rich match haul of 11 for 160, said he just focussed on exploiting the pitch and was confident of tossing the ball up, which paid dividends.<\/p>\n

“Spin bowling is about rhythm. When you are in rhythm it is about making the most of it. I felt confident even in the morning session (on day two) but the wicket did not offer me much.<\/p>\n

“After lunch I got the confidence to toss it up and use my guile. He’s (Pant) batted phenomenally throughout the series, I had to think out of the box and made sure to come up with a new plan and stay ahead of him,” he said.<\/p>\n

Will Young was named player-of-the-series for his 244 runs in the three matches.<\/p>\n

“One win was huge but to go again and again was huge. I tried to keep it simple, at times I need to trust my defence and at times I need to work out where I want to score,” he said.<\/p>\n

“Memories with the boys we have created with the boys. We go back and enjoy each other’s company.”<\/p>\n
