India had high hopes from Virat Kohli in the match, which is also his 300th ODI, but the 36-year-old right-handed batter could only manage to score 11 runs from 14 balls.
Despite his flop show with the bat, Kohli is making his presence felt on the field with his antics while fielding. In a video going viral on the internet, Kohli can be seen hilariously mimicking Shreyas Iyer’s misfield.
Here’s the video:
The incident took place during the 250-run chase when Kane Williamson and Daryl Mitchell were present at the crease for the Black Caps.
Super show by Iyer
Iyer, who is in red-hot form these days, scored 79 runs from 98 balls in the first half of the match. The 30-year-old right-handed batter from Mumbai hammered four fours and two sixes during his stay at the crease and added 98 runs for the fourth wicket with Axar Patel, who made 42 from 61 balls.
The half-century on Sunday is Iyer’s second half-century in the ongoing tournament for Men in Blue. In the last match played against Pakistan as well, Iyer scored 56 runs for the Rohit Sharma-led side and helped them chase down the target of 242 runs in 42.3 overs for the loss of just four wickets.
