His remarks came right after the Blackcaps defeated India by five wickets and clinched the three-match ODI series by 3-0.
Leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal has said that the Team India players gave their 100 percent during their clash against New Zealand at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui on Tuesday (February 11).
His remarks came right after the Blackcaps defeated India by five wickets and clinched the three-match ODI series by 3-0.
"We gave our 100 percent in every game. In the last five years, we have lost only 4 to 5 series. We can't win every match but we have won the T20 series."
"We are not worried about the result after the Test series. We have one month and the side will work in the areas where we are lagging," Chahal told reports at the post-match press conference.
This is also India's first series loss in any format since March last year.
The 29-year-old also claimed that Prithvi Shaw and Mayank Agarwal's performances during the ODI series is a massive plus for the national side in the absence of Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan, both missing out through injuries.
"We have learned a lot from this series. Performances from youngsters like Prithvi Shaw and Mayank Agarwal are a boost-up for the side, especially in New Zealand, where playing is not easy," he said.
"Overall, it is okay. Yes, we have lost ODIs but we have won T20s series for the first time here, which is a plus point," he added.
Batting first, the Men In Blue got off to yet another poor start as they lost two early wickets in Mayank Agarwal (1) and Virat Kohli (9) with just 32 runs on the board.
However, KL Rahul's knock of 112 runs boosted India to 296/7 in the allotted fifty overs.
Speaking on Rahul and Shreyas Iyer's top-class performances in the past few matches, Chahal said: "KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer are in form and playing maturally. They play according to the situation, especially in the middle over. Rahul has shown maturity as he is now playing at third spot after leaving the opening spot."
In chase of target score of 297 runs, Openers Martin Guptill and Henry Nicholls gave the home side the perfect start and formed a 106-run stand for the first wicket.
However, it was Colin de Grandhomme (58*) and Latham (32*) who guided the Blackcaps to victory in the end by five wickets with 17 balls to spare.
The two teams will lock horns again in a two-match Test series next, scheduled to start from February 21.
