Furthermore, India’s skipper Virat Kohli was plumbed in front of the wickets by Trent Boult. The umpire gave the decision in favour of the Kiwis but Kohli had no luck when he sent the decision upstairs.

Moreover, KL Rahul was in two minds whether to play the ball or leave it and hence, it edged it to Tom Latham, who took a good catch. Thus, the top three Indian batsmen scored one run each. Matt Henry had taken three wickets and he has helped his team put their noses in front.
