Shubman Gill | PoTS: Feels nice when you have a series and you perform well. I don't think my approach has changed after the double hundred. It's all about getting a start and converting every game. Just to be in the situation and looking to score helps convert those starts for me. Our bowlers bowled really well on this wicket.

Shardul Thakur | PoTM: I am liked by my teammates (chuckles). When the opponents come after you it's important to stay in the moment. I don't think too much. You got to be ready for different situations. Everyone enjoys batting. In modern day world it's all about batting.

IND vs NZ 3rd ODI Live Score:

Hardik Pandya: I have always enjoyed bowling with the new ball, it was a very good day for me. I swung the ball both ways. I have always enjoyed bowling with the new ball. Since I have comeback, I have changed my alignment and it has worked for me. This series has been where I have been able to express myself. I came fully prepared and it has gone well. (On Shardul) Lucky that Shardul had faith in me, because of his faith in me, we combined and I am grateful to him that he listened to me. If they leave some grass on the pitch next time, it will be good for the bowlers. I still think you would be able to see 350-360 runs on this pitch.
