That's not what were are. As skipper Kane Williamson always says: learn to accept defeat with grace and give credit to the opposition where it's due when we've been outplayed

Recap of the IND vs NZ 2nd Test
2nd Test Team saw India inflicting a crushing 372-run defeat on the World Test champions New Zeland at Wankhede on Monday. The victory also saw them winning the two-match Test series 1-0. After putting up 325 runs on board in the first innings, Team India bowlers bundled out New Zealand for just 62 runs in the first innings. Team India skipper Virat Kohli however decided not to follow on, and bat out the opposition by opting to bat in the second innings. Mayank Agarwal continued his fine form with the bat, scoring 62 off 108 balls. Cheteshwar Pujara who opened the innings fell three runs short of his fifty which would have been his first in the Test series.
After Pujara's dismissal, it was Shubman Gill's turn to attack the opposition bowlers scoring 47 runs off 75 balls. India skipper Virat Kohli failed to get past the half-century mark yet again getting out for 36 runs off 84 balls. Axar Patel switched on the T20 mode scoring 41 runs off 26 balls to give India a 540-run lead, post which Virat Kohli declared the innings.
After batting it was the turn of Indian bowlers to do their part as they chipped with wickets at regular intervals to dismantle the Kiwi batting lineup. India's ace spinner R Ashwin stood out by leading the way in terms of picking up wickets. By the end of the match, the off-spinner picked up 4 wickets for just 34 runs. Jayant Yadav cleaned up the tail to finish with figures of 4/49 while Axar Patel picked up 1 wicket.
