Poor performance of Indian batsmen
Earlier, Indian batsmen surrendered to New Zealand bowlers. Legends like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul were flops in this match. Ravindra Jadeja scored the highest 26 runs for the team. Trent Boult took 3 wickets for New Zealand. In the dismissal of Indian batsmen, there was more poor shot selection than the best bowling of New Zealand.
Ishan Kishan (4) and KL Rahul (18) landed as openers in this match. But both the batsmen failed. Rohit Sharma (14) landed at number 3, but he also failed. Captain Virat Kohli scored a half-century against Pakistan. But he failed in this match and got out after scoring 9 runs. The team lost 4 wickets for 48 runs.
There were 2 changes in Team India
Team India made 2 changes in the match. Shardul Thakur was given a chance in place of fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar. But Shardul could not do anything special. He conceded 17 runs in 1.3 overs. At the same time, Ishan Kishan was included in place of Suryakumar Yadav. Ishan Kishan could also do wonders with the bat. He returned to the pavilion after scoring 4 runs.
