IND vs NZ, 2nd T20I: India grabs 1-0 lead

India put behind their disheartening T20 World Cup campaign as they procure a domineering victory over New Zealand in the second T20 at Mount Maunganui on Sunday. In-form batsman Suryakumar Yadav hit an impressive century as India stationed a challenging 191-6 score before their spinners toyed around with the Kiwi batsmen to disregard them for 126 and finish a 65-run win.

The blue blood captained by Hardik Pandya in the absence of Rohit Sharma were eager to reinstate the fandom's faith. World No 1 T20 batsman Yadav made shots look easy on a sticky pitch, posting an unbeaten 111 off 51 balls. Opener Ishan Kishan posted the next-highest Indian score with 36 off 31. Suryakumar escalated the run rate as the innings progressed and the last two overs witnessed the most action of the innings.
