Why India lost to New Zealand: Still overdependent on Virat Kohli, fascination with all-rounders made bowling toothless

Shubman Gill, the current ODI captain, has long been viewed as the Prince-in-waiting, destined to inherit the crown from Kohli. But compare the two batters at 26, and the contrast is stark. When Kohli is in rhythm, he rarely throws his wicket away against the run of play.

Key Highlights

  • Gill, however, did the exact opposite in the opening two ODIs, gifting his wicket soon after reaching fifty.
  • On both days, India had chances to put the game to bed, but lapses in concentration from Gill allowed New Zealand to claw their way back.
  • In the series decider, he was undone by an incoming delivery from Kyle Jamieson, once again exposing a long-standing weakness.
