India won the fifth and final ODI match against New Zealand by 35 runs at Wellington on Sunday. The win helped India register a 4-1 series win, their biggest ever margin in New Zealand.

While defending 252, India were put under pressure with the likes of Kane Williamson, Tom Latham and Neesham playing some fighting knocks.
And it needed some street-smart cricket from the mercurial Mahendra Singh Dhoni to send dangerous Neesham back with a run-out while everyone, including the umpires, was wondering about an LBW shout. It happened off the 37th over.

Ambati Rayudu, Vijay Shankar, Kedar Jadhav and Hardik Pandya contributed with the bat to post a fighting total.
