New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson got greedy in the eighth over of the innings as he was bowled by India’s first match hero Mohammed Shami. The Kiwis captain had already scored 18 runs from Shami’s over. However, he tried to go for another cut short but could not make the contact. The stylish right-hander got an inside edge which ricocheted back on the stumps.

Meanwhile, the flamboyant batsman had scored two pull shots which carried all the way over the boundary ropes. Subsequently, the right-hander played a fine backfoot punch to add four more runs to his bag.

Then Williamson got a couple, thus there was no need to meddle with another off-stump delivery. Hence it was a big wicket for the visitors as Williamson has the skills to bat long.
