‘Bhai ye to shuru hote hi khatm ho gaya’ – Twitter erupts as India bundle up New Zealand for only 108 runs in 2nd ODI

The Indian bowling attack completely outmuscled the batting lineup of New Zealand in the ongoing second of the three-match ODI series against New Zealand. The pace attack led by veteran speedster Mohammed Shami scalped sent half of the visitors’ team back to the pavilion only on the score of 15 runs in 10.3 overs.

Later on, the Indian bowlers didn’t give any chance of bouncing back for Tom Latham’s men in the first innings and bundled the entire team only on the score of 108 runs in 34.3 overs. Shami finished with three wickets by conceding just 18 runs in 6 overs with an unbelievable economy rate of 3.00 including one maiden over to his name.

Other than Shami, Hardik Pandya and Washington Sundar scalped two wickets each alongside one wicket each claimed by Mohammed Siraj, Shardul Thakur, and Kuldeep Yadav.

The Indian cricket fans were also ecstatic following this amazing performance from the Indian bowling lineup. They immediately took to Twitter to lavish the praise on the Indian bowlers and also recalled the moment from the semi-final of the ODI World Cup 2019 when India lost 3 wickets on 5 runs. Whereas today India scalped three wickets of the visitors only on the score of 9 runs.

Here’s how fans reacted to the New Zealand innings:

Pitch was challenging, shd have batted first to challenge our batter (who most often choke in unusual condition)

But then people might have blamed him for choosing batting first, incase we lost.#INDvsNZ

New Zealand team getting all out for 108 so that no Indian batsman can score a double century.

Smart move by the Kiwis! #INDvsNZ
