Almost six months, in another cricketing battle between the same two nations, albeit the highest platform, Martin Guptill's fielding stunner to dismiss MS Dhoni in India's run chase had helped New Zealand outlast the favourites from World Cup 2019 semifinal. Guptill on Friday had pulled off another. At Eden Park in Auckland, Guptill's impressive diving catch helped New Zealand dismiss Chase Master Virat Kohli on 45 with the hope to grab the momentum. But uber-cool Shreyas Iyer laced a flurry of exquisite boundaries en route to an unbeaten 58 to guide India past 204 with an over to spare. Iyer's fireworks and KL Rahul's rollicking 56 helped India take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series against the Black Caps. But while the two deserve all the accolades for their batting in the massive chase, the one effort that went unacknowledged was that of Jasprit Bumrah. from IndiaTV Sports: Google News Feed https://ift.tt/2NWUga8
