Over 64. 10 runs. Bowler: Jeetan Patel. India: 262/5(rr 4.09)

SIX! Patel to Dhoni. Off break length ball, outside off stump on the front foot slog sweeping, well timed in the air under control over deep mid wicket for 6 runs. A huge hit from Dhoni seals the deal for India. They faltered in the run chase, with some irresponsible shots, but Kohli was unflappable, picking off anything loose and hardly playing a false shot either in defence or attack. They still needed 95 when Dhoni came out to join him, and although he played some false shots on the way, the pair took their team home and clinched the series 2-0. Patel picked up three wickets, getting a bat/pad catch off Pujara while Sehwag and Raina both threw their wickets away in reckless fashion. Southee was unable to repeat his first innings heroics, but New Zealand will be left wondering what if they had had a bit more luck in the gloom. Kohli played two mature innings and has been named Man of the Match. Ashwin, who took 18 wickets, is the Man of the Series while Pujara scored the most runs (216). The amended squads will now prepare for the T20 series which starts on the weekend.
