Rohit, Gill give India a good start

June 19, 2021 16:09

India 49-0 (16 ovs) vs NZ | Scorecard

Change in the bowling as medium pacer Colin de Grandhomme comes into the attack.

Rohit leaves the first ball before he taps the next on the off-side and then easily plays out the rest of the over.

The first hour has gone India's way as they reach 41 for no loss in 14 overs at the drinks break.

The Kiwi pacers failed to make most of the new ball, bowling too full at times and also struggled with their lines as they pitched either too wide or too straight on the stumps.

Jamieson tries the short ball to Gill, who is quickly on the backfoot to pull it through midwicket for another handsome boundary.

De Grandhomme continues as he beats Rohit with the outswinger, who plays a loose shot.

Swing for de Grandhomme as Rohit watchfully defends it on the off-side before he smashes a short wide delivery through the covers for a four.
