The Indian pacer seemed crumbled up against Kiwi batters Tom Latham’s counter-attacking hundred and Kane Williamson’s controlled innings.

Latham in his innings hit 19 boundaries and five sixes, while Williamson hit seven fours and one maximum. Latham also became the player of the match.
On the bowling side, Tim Southee and Lockie Ferguson took 3 wickets each, while Adam Milne clinched 1 wicket against India. On the contrary, India’s Umran Malik took 2 wickets and Shardul Thakur picked one against the Kiwis.
