WTC triumph highlight of my career, says Ross Taylor after starring in historic win for New Zealand

WTC Final: Ross Taylor scored 47 unbeaten runs on the final day to guide New Zealand to a thumping 8-wicket win over India in the historic Test match at Rose Bowl in Southampton. Taylor said that Kiwis back home will be "surely" proud of the team.

Senior New Zealand batsman Ross Taylor stood firm alongside his captain Kane Williamson and finished off the match with a four as New Zealand were crowned the World Test Champions on Wednesday at Southampton's Rose Bowl. Taylor had walked in after off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin's double strike to send back openers Tom Latham and Devon Conway back in the pavilion. There was a stretch of 21 dot balls but the Kiwi duo stood undeterred in the middle to stitch an unbeaten 96-run partnership off 173 balls.
