Yes, you learn that proper. India ran a demolition derby over New Zealand to win the decider at Visakhapatnam by way of a whopping 190 runs, their fourth-largest win in ODIs in terms of runs.

In an excellent first innings, India post 3 treasured partnerships and New Zealand broke it when it mattered. India however, had been pleased to get to 269/6 due to slog-over heroics from Kedar Jadhav and Axar Patel after the sport seemed to be going either means at a stage. Four of the five suits at Vizag have been received by way of the facet chasing. Not this time regardless that.
India got an early merit when Umesh Yadav got rid of Martin Guptill for his second duck of the collection. It was once nearly a replay of his dismissal on the Kotla - a perfect away swinger which clipped Guptill's thigh pad and crashed onto the stumps. On other occasions, Umesh was once complete and Tom Latham, confident of the shape he is been in, drove him handsomely for a few boundaries early on earlier than the two-paced nature of the outside got the better of him.
Kane Williamson did the similar. What sticks out about him is his foot movement - infrequently is he noticed stuck while playing his shots. With back-to-back boundaries off Jasprit Bumrah, Williamson was once starting to glance authoritative however his little rate was once halted by way of Axar Patel who was once immaculate with his wicket-to-wicket line. A half-hearted loft against long off noticed the again of him. Ross Taylor struggled for essentially the most a part of his innings as smartly and introduced a feather to Dhoni going for a minimize.
And that opened the floodgates. Mishra foxed BJ Watling with a dream googly, and adopted it with the wickets of Jimmy Neesham and Tim Southee in the next over. Neesham dismissal was once a ripped with the ball turning viciously to take his off stump, while Dhoni finished yet another lightning fast stumping - of Southee. With New Zealand falling like a pack of playing cards, debutant Jayant Yadav had his moment in the solar, trapping Corey Anderson leg earlier than for his maiden international wicket.

Batting wasn't simple - the balls mostly got here slower off the outside. Southee and Trent Boult did smartly to roll their hands over the ball.
Its reward went to Neesham, who had Rahane chipping to midwicket. Williamson did the correct thing by way of introducing Mitchell Santner and Sodhi which tightened issues. Even the coming of Virat Kohli did not lend a hand much and India had been diminished to scoring less than five an over. It was once more of a warning by way of selection.
In between, Rohit timed a few excellent hits - a six over long off and a boundary against sq. leg.

Having twisted his ankle while diving for a unmarried, he accelerated the innings with poised fortify from Kohli. With a cracking minimize, Rohit brought up his 29th fifty in ODIs.

With Rohit connecting and finding the boundaries, Kohli bided his time. Oddly sufficient, the space between his first and second boundary was once 11 overs. Such was once the difficulty India faced. The batsmen had been helped by way of a dropped likelihood each. Rohit, going for one shot too many, miscued a Boult bouncer to search out Neesham.
Kohli, who attempted at breaking the shackles in the 30th over from Sodhi. He dispatched the legspinner over the long-off boundary and MS Dhoni adopted it up with a four. The re-introduction of seamers helped India's run-scoring. And for a transformation, it was once Dhoni reaping the benefit of it. He targeted the world between sq. leg and high-quality leg, and scored 3 four in that path. Dhoni and Kohli brought up the fifty-run stand, however simply when it gave the impression they had been surroundings the stage for a flourishing finish, Dhoni neglected a sweep and was once trapped leg-before by way of Santner.
