India vs New Zealand, 1st T20I, New Zealand tour of India, 2026 - Player Highlights

Mitchell to Rinku Singh, FOUR, this ball has gone exactly where the fielder who was called from deep backward square leg was stationed. It had to be wide and nowhere else. But Mitchell tried to pull off the bluff. Bowled at the body and bowled short with both backward square leg and fine leg up. Rinku said thank you for that gift and pulled the ball over backward square leg. Didn't middle it but didn't matter

Mitchell to Rinku Singh, no run, now he does get the wide yorker right, that's inside the line and Rinku is furious about missing the lofted drive

Mitchell to Rinku Singh, FOUR, 6 6 0 wd 4 now with two more balls to go. Short delivery angling in, Rinku gets inside the line, pulls, fine leg up so was easy pickings for him. Mitchell didn't have the confidence to bowl the wide yorkers after the wide and bowled at the body, only to be punished

Mitchell to Rinku Singh, wide, this one's wide enough for me says umpire Nitin Menon

Mitchell to Rinku Singh, no run, in fact he even goes over the wicket and fires a full ball way outside off stump. Has it not been called a wide? That's shocking! Clearly a wide and not given. Earlier India got one that wasn't a wide

Mitchell to Rinku Singh, SIX, he's slogged this across the line. Stood on the crease, picked the slower ball from Mitchell's hands. Didn't move much till he was just about to make contact. Great sighting of the variation and great execution to make it 6, 6

Mitchell to Rinku Singh, SIX, walks at the bowler and plays a swag lofted drive into the sightscreen! Great start for Rinku and India. Length delivery right in the slot, Rinku attacked by getting close and smacked it nicely
