Murali Kartik calls India's win hard-fought in Wellington
Murali Kartik said on Cricbuzz, “Whether it was DLS or no DLS, it was a close one; India needed 22 runs more, and it could have gone either way. It's just that with three wickets in hand after that shot from Anshul Kamboj, and with only KL Rahul being there, it could have gone anywhere. So, it has been a hard-fought victory for India; they will be happy.”

The former Indian spinner also praised the touring bowlers for restricting the hosts to such a low score. Kartik pointed out that Indian batters had once again failed to build partnerships and lost wickets at regular intervals.
