In front of a near full-house in Indore, Team India gave it’s fans a lot to cheer about as Virat Kohli’s men ran through New Zealand’s batting order to complete a 3-0 whitewash in the Test series.
India bundled out New Zealand for 153 in their second innings to register a massive 321-run win on day four of the third and final Test and won the three-Test series 3-0. This is Virat Kohli’s first series whitewash since becoming captain.
And the man of the moment? Why Ravichandran Ashwin, of course.
On Twitter, Team India came in for a lot of praise:
A career-best 7 for 59 in the innings. A career-best 13 for 140 in a match.
Well played, @ashwinravi99! #INDvsNZ pic.twitter.com/rrdaQiYKCj

Stunning performance by @ashwinravi99: this Test, this series, the past couple of years – in fact since he came into international cricket

Far too easy for Ashwin. He could very well break plenty of records in this home season itself. #INDvNZ

I love how the best contribution of the seamers has been providing Ashwin with footmarks.
