With those endearing Yusuf quotes, we come to the end of the coverage for this exhilarating match. Thanks for joining us. Cheers

Presentation Anil Kumble is on the presentation party. Nice to see

Yusuf Pathan is the MoM He says, "This is very special for me. Whenever I have played any good innings, they have been something special. We were talking we need to take the game till the end. We needed some runs because we were behind on D/L, but the ball came on well. When me and Rohit were playing, we were saying once of us has to stay till the end of the 50th over. This innings could be the turning point for my life and my career" As it turned out, the game didn't even go into the 50th over. good on ya, Yousuf

Gautam Gambhir "I have never seen something like this. I have always said Yusuf can finish games on his own, and that's what he did today. I always felt till the time Yusuf was there we would win the game." [Yusuf can't stop smiling as Gautam praises him]. Nice moment there

Daniel Vettori "It's a great game of cricket. We were in the game, but Yusuf Pathan was pretty amazing. James played exceptionally well too to give us a formidable total, but like I said Yusuf took the game away. That break should have favoured us actually, but it didn't work out that way. The outfield wasn't that bad after that rain. We just didn't get it right."

And Pathan has single-handedly stolen this from New Zealand, who will be wondering what they need to do to win a damn game. They last won on August 10 in Dambulla. India, meanwhile, keep their unbeaten home season intact.

Pathan clinches his fist as he walks off. What an innings he played. More than the monstrous sixes he hit, his response to the short balls will stand out. He patiently ducked under them, not doing anything silly, but punished New Zealand every time they pitched it on a length. Spare a thought, too, for Franklin, who - like Pathan - got himself his personal best today
