Black Caps fans shouldn't be disheartened about the recent series defeat to India, with former spinner Harbhajan Singh declaring the Kiwis are putting up more of a fight than that of Australia.
With yesterday's seven wicket defeat in Mount Maunganui, India have taken an unassailable 3-0 series lead, with matches in Hamilton and Wellington still to be played.
However, despite India arriving in New Zealand off the back of a come from behind 2-1 series win over Australia, Harbhajan insists that things aren't as bleak for Kiwi supporters as they may seem.

"This current New Zealand are definitely a better team than Australia but don't forget how well India played," Harbhajan said in India Today.
"Sometimes, we look to the other teams play well and we forget how good our own team is and that no team can stand in front of our team.
"It is great to see the way our team is playing. Everyone is in form."
The Black Caps next face India at Hamilton's Seddon Park on Thursday, before the series finale at Westpac Stadium on Sunday.
