New Zealand posted a challenging 219 for 6 in 20 overs after India’s stand-in captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and sent the visitors to bat in the first T20I of the three-match series.
The Men in Blue could not make a match of it and were bowled out for just 139 in 19.2 overs with Tim Seifert’s opposite number MS Dhoni scoring the highest score for the team – 39.
Meanwhile, the gesture shown by New Zealand’s opening batsman Colin Munro during the first innings in Wellington was a shockin🔥g anti-thesis to all the unethical business in cricket.
Munro was taking his stance in the fourth over after hitting Khaleel Ahmed for two consecutive💫 sixes, but once the left-arm pacer started his run-up, the umpire extended his right hand to stop him from bowling the next delivery.
While everyone was wondering what was happening, Munro was also surprised and when he saw ♛the stump light flashiꦕng behind him. The left-hander started walking back towards the pavilion under the illusion that he got hit wicket.
However, the light came due 💫to the eastward wind flow at the Westpac which resulted in the bails being dislodged when Munro was in his stance. ꧟The leg-umpire signalled Munro the same and seeing that he was fully relieved.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
