New Zealand in India, 2010

The Test and ODI thrashing in India has prompted New Zealand Cricket to start a review of the team's performance but the body has ruled out sacking captain Daniel Vettori.

Gambhir feels that it's positive sign that the fringe players cashed in on the opportunity which augurs well for the team.

Daniel Vettori admitted that India were the superior team in the ODI series and his side lacked consistency to challenge a strong and balanced opposition.

Statistical highlights of the fifth and final ODI played between India and New Zealand in Chennai.

India's stand-in skipper Gautam Gambhir attributed the team's 5-0 sweep in the ODI series against New Zealand to "overall effort".

New Zealand suffered their second consecutive series sweep loss in ODIs, following the 5-0 drubbing at the hands of India.

The best thing about India' comprehensive win was not that they won, but that they won with a side where only half would make it to a full-strength eleven.

The kind of form both teams have displayed, the biggest threat to India's not achieving a 5-0 whitewash seems to be the weather in Chennai.

Yusuf Pathan said that even though he had walked in with India in trouble, at no stage did he think that they were going to lose the match.

Yusuf Pathan said that his whirlwind innings in the 4th ODI against New Zealand could be the turning point in his career.
