Will Young Century: In the fourth ODI against New Zealand, the Indian team had to suffer the consequences of poor fielding. In the second over of the innings, Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan took 2 catches on 2 consecutive balls off the ball of Aaqib Nabi. Both these catches were of New Zealand's opening batsman Will Young, who was playing after scoring only 5 runs at that time. He took full advantage of two consecutive lives and scored a brilliant century. This is the first century of his ODI career, while this is the first big innings of this series.

However, after getting a lease of life, he took full advantage and completed his half-century in 49 balls. After this he increased the pace and completed his century in 88 balls. During this period, 11 fours and sixes came from his bat.

After this, on the next ball, Aaqib Nabi again trapped Will Young and the ball hit the outer edge of the bat.
