It is difficult to digest the fact of losing the series. Losing a series, losing a Test match is never easy. This is not an easy thing to digest. We did not play our best cricket. New Zealand performed better in the entire series. We made many mistakes. I could not give my best performance as a captain and also in batting. As a team we failed to perform well together.
