India’s head coach Rahul Dravid said that the 3-0 result over New Zealand in the T20I series marks a good start for his stint but at the same time, he is realistic enough to not read too much into the overall outcome with Black Caps having to play the series three days after the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup final.
India opened with a win on Wednesday in Jaipur, clinched the series in Ranchi on Friday and then closed out a clean sweep in Kolkata on Sunday. New Zealand, meanwhile, were playing their eighth T20I in the span of 18 days. Some of the key players from both teams were rested for the series as part of workload management.
“It was a really good series win. Everyone played really well right through the series. It feels good, nice to start well. We are also quite realistic. We have to keep our feet on the ground and be a bit realistic about this win,” Dravid said at the post-match presentation in Kolkata.
New Zealand's recent schedule:
Nov 3, 5, 7: Day games in UAE, 3 different venues
Nov 10 & 14: Knockout matches vs ENG, AUS
Nov 17, 19, 21: #INDvNZ
