Lakshya becomes first Indian shuttler to win Kumamoto Masters title

New Zealand captain Santner said his side let several chances slip in a closely‑fought series against India, which ultimately saw India clinch the five‑match ODI series with a 22‑run victory in the final and also win the T20I series. Stand‑in skipper Shreyas Iyer, who faced criticism for a brief exchange with Virat Kohli during the fifth ODI, noted that the team did not discuss the 89‑run collapse in the fourth match and regrouped to secure a 22‑run win, taking the series 3‑1. Iyer also praised the bowlers and warned against drawing World Cup conclusions from the tour.
