Indian T20I side sets 192-run target for Kiwis in 2nd T20I
India is facing the Kiwi side with a new-look T20I squad, which is being led by star all-rounder Hardik Pandya, in the absence of Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul. Virat Kohli is another top player who has been rested for the three-match T20I series, following India’s exit from the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022. India suffered a loss to England in the 2nd semi-final at the T20 WC as skipper Rohit and his opening partner KL were criticized for their performance.
However, as India took the field on Sunday, a fresh opening pair featuring Ishan Kishan and Rishabh Pant walked out to bat. While Rishabh hit a boundary in the first over to make his intentions clear, he couldn’t capitalize on the start. Pant was dismissed on six runs off 13 balls in the 6th over, as India scored 40 odd runs in the powerplay. This was followed by Suryakumar taking the strike as the no. 3 batter and went on to hit another entertaining knock.
