We could only have dreamed of this position: New Zealand captain Tom Latham after the Test win against India

NEW DELHI: New Zealand became the first team to give India a 3-0 victory in India with a 25-run win in the 3rd Test Wankhede Stadium on Sunday in Mumbai.
This is the first time New Zealand have won three Tests in a series, home or away, and the first three ever in which New Zealand have won three away Tests in a row.
This is also the first time India have been whitewashed in a home series of three or more Tests at home. New Zealand became the fourth team to whitewash India in a series of 3+ Tests after England (4), Australia (3) and the West Indies (once).
Left-arm spinner Ajaz Patel, who picked ten wickets in an innings at this venue on his last tour of India, bowled the Kiwis to victory in this Test.
Ajaz picked up five wickets in the first innings and ensured that India did not gain a big lead in the first innings.
Ajaz finished with 6/57 as India crashed to 121 in 29.1 overs.
After the game in a post-game presentation: Latham said: “Very excited. The boys have done a fantastic job in the last three test matches. We're pretty happy. The sailors did a great job in Bangalore because they were able to easily adapt to any terrain. The boys helped out at different times.” Ajaz loves bowling here in Mumbai. We tried to do our best and are very happy to be in this position. We didn't play too badly there (in Sri Lanka), we bowled really well this morning World Cup was fantastic. We could only have dreamed of this position.
The Kiwis won the first Test in Bengaluru by 8 wickets and the second Test in Pune by 113 runs.
