  "account": "India's captain Shreyas Iyer commended his bowlers for their performance after securing a 3-1 series victory over New Zealand. Iyer stated that the bowlers excelled under challenging conditions, demonstrating confidence to guide the team to victory. He emphasized that the series was not primarily a test of batting prowess, but rather of the bowlers' resilience. Iyer expressed pride in the team's character, noting that the individual strength of each player contributed to their success. Despite facing difficult conditions, including seaming pitches, small boundaries, and frequent weather interruptions, India managed to overcome the odds. The bowlers played a crucial role, with Arshdeep Singh taking a notable 3/30 spell in the final ODI. The win marked the end of New Zealand's 11-match unbeaten home streak in ODIs.",
