Key Highlights

  • Struggling to control the Kiwis’ marauding duo in a ground with small dimensions, Kuldeep ended up with 1-48 in six overs.
  • Mohammed Siraj press conference: gearing up for series decider vs New ZealandThis is the second match in a row that the 31-year-old, a class act when in rhythm, looked out of sorts in this series.
  • In Rajkot, the Black Caps, with Mitchell scoring a century (131 not out) and Will Young notching up 85, plundered 82 runs in Kuldeep’s 10 overs.
  • He did take Young’s wicket, but by then it was all over bar the shouting as India failed to defend 284. On the same pitch, India had found both the Kiwi spinners hard to get away earlier in the day.
