India vs New Zealand LIVE Cricket Score, IND win final by four wickets

• Varun Chakravarthy: It was a sudden inclusion. I did not expect it to turn out like this. I am quite happy.
• Kuldeep Yadav: Luckily did not have to wear the pads tonight. Credit goes to Jaddu and KL Rahul. There was a lot of expectation ahead of the tournament because we have played such good cricket. This is a gift for the fans. We have played very good cricket.

It is very difficult to manage 4 spinners on the field, and I think Rohit did an outstanding job at that. Rohit planned it very well.

The whole of India will party today.

• Shubman Gill: It felt amazing to bat with Rohit. We spoke to each other about moving the scoreboard and we would get there. This trophy is very satisfying, we missed out the last one, the ODI World Cup.
• Virat Kohli: Wanted to win a big tournament after the tough Australian tour. There is so much talent in the dressing room and it is great to play with them. Being around the changing room in these tournaments drive me. The whole team stepped up in different games and that’s why we won the tournament. It is only a collective effort that can win you title. It has been amazing tournament.

I try to speak to these guys as much as possible, step in where I can help these guys. You try to leave a team by putting it in a better position. We have a squad that can dominate the next 8-10 years. We are in good hands.

Sad to see a good friend on the losing side. But I have been on the losing side too, only love between us.

• KL Rahul: I don’t think I can say this on camera but I was shitting myself. We had a couple of batters to come but I was tense. It’s all about keeping yourself calm and composed in situations like this. I think I’ve batted in times like this in 3 out of the 5 games (in this CT) and in one of the games I didn’t get to bat at all against Pakistan.

Hard to put it into words, pure skill and the way we’ve all played our cricket growing up, had to face a lot of challenges, we’ve had to face pressure from the time we’ve held a bat and decided to become professional cricketers. The way the BCCI has groomed us and the domestic circuit has trained us to handle pressure and do well in circumstances like these.

• Shreyas Iyer: Feeling ecstatic, it’s ineffable, hard to put it into words. It’s my first ICC trophy, I’m out of words looking at everyone. The way everyone has performed, it’s been great. To be honest, I love to play under pressure, I feel like I thrive under pressure. I’ve been getting into such situations and it was great to contribute to the win.
