Once again, the experienced Mahendra Singh Dhoni shows how it should be done. His tremendous skills of staying calm and letting know about what is happening on the field for the bowlers has once again came to India’s aid. This time, it is Krunal Pandya, who got benefitted with the guidance of MS Dhoni. Meanwhile, Colin Munro was on the wrong side of things.

Initially, Krunal Pandya failed to get the right line and lengths to control the exploits of Kiwis openers. He has been smashed for 17 runs in his 2 overs to make things tough for the team. However, a healthy chatter between him and MS Dhoni has helped India to get the wicket right in his next over.

Colin Munro scored 34 off 20 balls:

Munro, who was on the non-striker end for a major part of the time, was given a flighted ball asking to smash out of the park. Colin, who accepted the challenge thrown his kitchen sink on it but failed to cross the ropes, as Vijay Shankar took a decent catch under the lights.

Despite the wicket, Krunal Pandya ended up on the wrong side of things. He gave away 37 runs in 4 overs with the only wicket of Colin Munro. However, his figures are the best figures in the day for India at the end of 14 overs.

Coming to the match, initially, India won the toss and asked the home side to bat first. Accepting the task, Kiwis batsmen went berserk against Indian bowlers by smashing boundaries more often than not. They took every bowler to the cleaners to progress towards a massive score on the board.

Tim Seifert, the wicketkeeper was the wrecker-in-chief, who showed his brilliant batting skills. He smashed a stunning 84 off 43 balls to hand a great start for the hosts.
