10:04 PM IST | Time for the post-match presentations...

Tom Latham (New Zealand Captain): "Yes, it was an amazing inning. At 131/6 to play an inning like that to put us in that position of winning was great. Hard luck couldn't get over the line. It's right up there, one of his better innings to say the least. We were on the edge of our seats. Yes, a bit of grip, and India used the cutters very well there is a lot of learning for us from this match and we will hope to take the positives out going into the next match." 

Strongest Player of the Match goes to Michael Bracewell for a six of 95m.

Game Changer of the Match goes to Michael Bracewell for his 140 off 78 balls.

Power Player of the Match goes to Mohammed Siraj for his performances in the powerplay.

Rohit Sharma (India Captain): "See, to be honest, the way he (Bracewell) batted hats off. He was special tonight. From 5 down, they were at one stage; unless we slipped up immensely, I was confident of my team. He (Bracewell) batted well and took the game closer. I said at the toss, there is not much dew, and hence you need to bowl and bat well to win a game. See, Shubman Gill is a classy batter. He is clear about his approach. He doesn't go aerially very often. He plays the shots really well along the ground. He has a big career ahead. Siraj has been doing it for us for quite some time now. He is an improved bowler. He got us back in the match, bowling well in his final over to get a couple of wickets. He was brilliant. He is carrying out his plans and is very clear about them. That is exactly how it should be."

Shubman Gill: "Yes, I mean was waiting eagerly to go out there and do what I do. Definitely got some momentum and got the sixes. Happy with it. Sometimes when the bowlers are on top, try to put some pressure on them. I wasn't really thinking of 200 but it was more about getting the partnerships and getting the team to a good total. Yes, it's amazing to see him score a double hundred and now he is there for me. He is my best mate. It feels nice to see things going my way. It has sunk in well. Bracewell hit those biggies and the game was topsy-turvy. Great game to be a part of for me." 

That's it from this thriller that we had for you in Hyderabad. India held their nerve to win the game by 12 runs to go 1-0 up in the series. Both teams head off to Raipur for the second ODI on Saturday. Do join us for that game and for all other cricketing action across the globe across our network. For now, this is Ayan Chatterjee signing off on behalf of my esteemed co-commentator Akshaya Krishna Polya alongside scorer/analyst Zeeshan Naiyer. Stay safe, happy, and cool. Goodnight and CHEERS!
