India vs New Zealand, 2nd T20I, New Zealand tour of India, 2026 - Player Highlights

Kuldeep Yadav to Phillips, out Caught by Hardik Pandya!! Nope. Spoke too soon. Kuldeep does have the last laugh. Phillips had no clue about this. He had played him reasonably well till this ball, but does not pick the googly. Floated up and invites Phillips for the big shot, he looks to go against the spin to the leg-side, gets a leading edge and the ball balloons towards backward point, simple catch for Hardik. Just when a partnership was ensuing, India strike back. Phillips c Hardik Pandya b Kuldeep Yadav 19(13) [4s-2 6s-1]
