A defiant ninth-wicket partnership between Brendon McCullum (84) and Iain O'Brien delayed the inevitable as their 76-run stand pushed the hosts to 279, but needing just just 39 for victory. Gautam Gambhir (30 not out) "It has been all-round performance that has seen us do consistently well. We just needed a break and that break I thought we got in Zimbabwe (2001) which came after a long time," he said.
"After that we went to the West Indies and won a Test there. We went to England and won. We went to South Africa, we won. We did that in Australia as well. So wherever we have travelled we have created an impact. That is what the nation was looking for and we are glad we have done it," Tendulkar added.
"Tendulkar, Laxman and Dravid and the likes have been in pretty much every situation that you can be as a batsman so for them it's just a matter of replicating that each time they go out.
