Wellington: New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson Sunday said he was left heartbroken after realising his mistake of not opting for DRS when Ross Taylor was ruled LBW by the on-field umpire during the fifth ODI which India won by 35 runs here.
Taylor was trapped by Hardik Pandya in the 11th over, leaving New Zealand reeling at 38/3 while chasing 253 for a win.
The ball seemed to have struck Taylor above the knee roll and the batsman walked off after a chat with his captain without taking a review.
However, the replays showed the ball had clearly missed the stumps. Williamson said at the post-match conference. Williamson credited the Indian bowling unit for maintaining the pressure on the hosts.
“I think throughout this series India were far better at that than us and as a bowling unit they were superb — their accuracy f did put us under that sort of pressure.” Said Williamson. (PTI)
