Rohit Sharma spun the coin and eventually he won the toss. Subsequently, when Srinath asked him whether he wants to bat or bowl first, the 35-year-old forget what to decide and after a few seconds, he iterated that India would bowl first. It left everyone in a burst of laughter including the opponent skipper Tom Latham as well.

Speaking of the ongoing second ODI between India and New Zealand so far, the men in blue have completely outmuscled the entire top order of the Kiwis. The Indian bowling attack comprising Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, Shardul Thakur, and Hardik Pandya has sent half of the New Zealand team back to the pavilion.

Tom Latham’s men have scored only 24 runs for the loss of five wickets in 11.3 overs. Senior pacer Mohammed Shami has scalped two wickets by conceding only 5 runs in four overs he bowled so far with an outstanding economy rate of only 1.25. Other than Shami, Siraj, Shardul, and Pandya have also scalped one wicket each so far with brilliant economy rates.
