India vs New Zealand, 1st T20I, New Zealand tour of India, 2026 - Player Highlights

Ish Sodhi to Abhishek Sharma, out Caught by Jamieson!! This is a mishit, long-on settles under it and takes a clean catch. Sodhi walks up to Abhishek Sharma and gives him a pat on the back for this sensational innings. Abhishek tells himself that he should have hit that ball over cover and not tried to hit down the ground. Full slot ball actually, should have been put away but the bat turned in his hands and ended up being a mishit to long-on. Took the onus on himself in the powerplay to score quick runs when India lost two early wickets and now he's put his side in a commanding positions.
