The duo stood out by topping the batting and bowling averages respectively for India in the just concluded one-day series against the Kiwis. Sehwag had the distinction of becoming the highest run-scorer from either besides clocking the maximum average. Bolstered by two centuries, Sehwag totalled 299 runs, almost double that of the next highest scorer Stephen Fleming of New Zealand. Sehwag, who had an average of 42.71, was the only batsman from either team to have scored a hundred on the entire tour. Srinath put up a more consistent performance than Sehwag to emerge as the highest wicket-taker on either side. Srinath took 18 wickets from seven matches at an impressive average of 11.16. It was only a shade inferior to New Zealand's Andre Adams who accounted for 14 wickets at 9.35 runs apiece. Yuvraj Singh and Rahul Dravid were the only other Indian batsmen whose aggregates reached three-figures. Yuvraj Singh scored 114 runs at an average of 19.14 while Dravid made 116 runs with an average of 16.57. Captain Sourav Ganguly scored 58 runs from seven innings at a pathetic average of 8.28. The case of Sachin Tendulkar was even worse with the master batsman managing to score just two runs from the three matches he played after missing the first four one-dayers on account of an ankle injury. Among the bowlers, Zaheer Khan also gave a good account of himself, taking 10 wickets at an average of 25.80. For New Zealand, Fleming had the highest run aggregate of 157 followed by Matthew Sinclair, who scored 146 runs. in-depth coverage > Indian Cricket Team's New Zealand Tour > |
