India beat New Zealand in the second T20I by seven wickets to take a 2-0 lead in the three-match series. It was yet another lopsided contest as the Men in Blue made light work of the hosts. In the low-scoring tie at the Eden Park, the fans did not get to see much that would have enthralled them.

Well, an interesting incident took place right after the game that might have interested the fans. But unfortunately, not many would have seen that incident since it took place well after the game ended.  Former Mumbai Indians teammates Martin Guptill and Rohit Sharma were talking to each other when the New Zealand opener hilariously swore at Yuzvendra Chahal in Hindi.

The cameras caught Martin Guptill’s comment as he hilariously called Yuzvendra Chahal Gan*u. Rohit Sharma was in split as soon as he heard Martin Guptill’s comment while Chahal was a bit taken aback. The India leg-spinner playfully hit the New Zealand opener before telling him something.

Here is a clip of that hilarious incident:

Talking about the game, in-form KL Rahul once again starred with the bat by scoring an unbeaten fifty while Shreyas Iyer made the most of his form too as India chased down 133 with ease.

Chasing the modest total, India were off to a poor start as Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli departed cheaply. Tim Southee accounted for both the batsmen to leave India reeling at 39 for 2. However, before New Zealand could make further inroads in the game, Rahul and Iyer steadied the ship and shared a decisive partnership of 86 runs.

Ish Sodhi broke the stand when he dismissed Iyer for 44 when India needed only eight runs. Rahul and Shivam Dube then took India over the line with the latter hitting a six to finish the game. Rahul remained unbeaten on 57.

Earlier, the Virat Kohli-led side restricted New Zealand to a modest 132 for 5. Batting first, the hosts were off to a good start with Martin Guptill and Colin Munro adding 48 runs for the first wicket. However, once Guptill departed, New Zealand’s innings came off the track and they eventually ended up on 132 for 5.
