Iyer Drops Rachin Ravindra Inside The Powerplay
The Kiwis won the toss and opted to bat first. Rachin Ravindra and Will Young got off to the perfect start and stitched a fifty-plus run stand for the first wicket. While the seamers were going for runs, Rohit Sharma introduced spin and turned the course of the match. Notably, all the four wickets that fell were taken by the spinners.
However, India were struggling and panicking when the openers were going strong. Further, poor fielding also added to the wounds. Firstly, Mohammed Shami dropped Rachin Ravindra, and then Shreyas Iyer too hogged the internet after he also gave a lifeline to Rachin Ravindra.
