Indian batting line-up was destroyed by the quality swing bowling by the New Zealand Trent Boult at Seddon Park, Hamilton. India was bowled out for just 92 runs and the target was chased in just 14.4 overs. The game lasted only 45.3 overs overall. This was India's biggest defeat in terms of the number of balls left.
One can take an idea of how bad India batted by the fact that Yuzvendra Chahal (18*) was the highest scorer for them. This was only the second time when an Indian number 10 batsman was the highest scorer in India's innings.
For New Zealand, Boult picked up 5/21 and ran through the Indian batting line-up and ensured there is no one left to revive the Indian innings.
The full-time skipper Virat Kohli is rested and with the loss, fans were really upset. They joked about Kohli's vacation. Here is how the Twitterati reacted:
