The new era of Team India under the guidance of Rahul Dravid and Rohit Sharma's leadership made a strong start as they clean swept New Zealand in their first series together. Rohit explained that in the first meeting with his teammates, both him and the coach passed clear instructions the players that none of their efforts will go "unnoticed". “It will always be recognised when you're trying to put up your hand and take the pressure on yourself and try to do something for the team. That is the job of the captain and the coach to tell the players that we do understand what you're trying to do for the team, you go and take your chances,” he further explained. India will now switch to red-ball cricket against New Zealand, with the first Test scheduled to start from November 25 in Kanpur.
