The first match of the 3-match T20I series between India and New Zealand is being played on Friday, January 27 in Ranchi, in which Team India captain Hardik Pandya has decided to field first after winning the toss. Which has proved quite impactful.
The Indian team gave a spectacular performance with the bat. New Zealand made 176 runs in the first innings, losing 6 wickets. In the last over, young fast bowler Arshdeep Singh bowled a fierce spell under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya, resulting in a misfield by Kuldeep Yadav. This incident is now being widely shared on social media.
“In fact, the 20th over of the Kiwi team’s innings was being bowled by young fast bowler Arshdeep Singh from India. In the midst of his fierce spell, fast bowler Daryl Mitchell hit him hard with his aggressive batting. Mitchell hit 3 fours and 1 six in that over by Singh.”
In the same over, during the fifth ball, Michel somehow got a shot in the gap and attempted to score two runs. Unfortunately, the ball went to Kuldeep Yadav’s hands. Had Kuldeep caught the ball, Michel might not have scored the two runs. But he missed it, and Michel took the two runs. This made Captain Hardik Pandya very unhappy, as it was clear on his face. As a result, this entire incident is now being circulated on social media.
Experienced left arm chinaman bowler Kuldeep Yadav had a remarkable performance against New Zealand in the first T20I match. He took four wickets in his four overs, with an impressive economy of 5, and gave away only 20 runs, also took the wicket of Glenn Phillips causing a big setback for the Kiwi team.
