IND vs NZ 2nd ODI: The second ODI match is being played between India and New Zealand at Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot. Indian fans got a big shock in the match. Both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli failed to play big innings. Team India, which registered a spectacular win in Vadodara, seems to be dependent on the depth of its batting in this match, because the bats of these top-order stalwarts remained calm today.
Got a start but no finish
Rohit Sharma had started very cautiously in today’s match. Rohit spent time at the crease for the Indian team after losing the toss and came to bat first, but he was seen struggling to regain his rhythm. Rohit scored 24 runs in 38 balls, which included 4 fours. In the 13th over, Rohit went ahead and played a big shot on a length ball from Christian Clarke. But Will Young took an easy catch. This innings of Rohit has once again raised the discussion about his ‘nervous start’.
A shot of a man in top form! 😮💨🤩

‘Rare’ failure after becoming number-1
Fans were expecting a big century from Virat Kohli, who became the world number-1 ODI batsman in the ICC rankings today. As soon as he came, Kohli made his intentions clear by hitting a brilliant cover drive on his first ball, but he could not convert his start into a big score and could only score 23 runs in 29 balls.
