New Zealand became the first side in history to whitewash India 3-0 in a three-match Test series in India.

Ross Taylor said they didn't think of a 3-0 clean sweep over India in the Test series in their 'wildest dreams' as Tom Latham-led side completed a historic whitewash in Mumbai.

His hundred was the first by a Kiwi batter in India since Ross Taylor's Test hundred at the same venue in 2012.

Ahead of the first Test between Australia and New Zealand, Kiwi fast bowler Wagner had announced his retirement from international cricket.

New Zealand's former star batter Ross Taylor has suggested that fast bowler Neil Wagner's retirement was "forced", hinting at the possibility of unrest in the Kiwi camp.

India will be nervous facing New Zealand in the World Cup, reckons Ross Taylor, drawing parallels from the campaigns of both teams in the 2019 edition.

Ross Taylor warned that Team India in its home conditions is a "different beast" and will remain favourites to win the tournament irrespective of the result of the match vs New Zealand.

Virat Kohli strengthened his position in an elite list during India's five-wicket win over West Indies in the first ODI encounter.
