Rohit out for 7 as India lose early wicket

October 25, 2017 18:01

India 28-1 (5 ovs) vs NZ 230-9 | Scorecard

Not a bad delivery from Southee but Dhawan manages to smash it through the off-side for a four and then picks a quick single to mid-off.

But the crowd are stunned into silence as Rohit clips a full delivery off his pads straight into the hands of the fielder at square leg to perish for seven.

A lucky break for New Zealand as nine times out of ten, Rohit will fancy his chances of getting that ball off his pads for a boundary but this he just struggled with his balance and was unable to keep the ball down or in the gap.

The in-form Virat Kohli gets off the mark with two runs as he plays a nice flick through the midwicket region. He pushes the last ball down the ground past mid-on for a four to make a confident start.
