India script T20I history with 199-run chase
India completed the chase with 40 balls remaining, which is now the second-fastest successful chase of a target of 190 or more in T20 cricket. Among Full Member teams, it is now the record for the most balls remaining in a successful chase of at least 190 runs.
After India clinched the T20I series in New Zealand, Shreyas Iyer was impressed by the way Abhishek Sharma and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi took control of the match.
Shreyas Iyer said at the post-match presentation, "Absolutely stunning. It was pleasing to the eyes the way they played strokes. Also, when Sanju and I went to bat, the ball was seamless, and I was like, "How did they manage this?" It was simply mind-boggling. Honestly speaking, getting 100 in 5 overs, I've never seen that before, especially at the international level. And definitely tops it.”
Shreyas Iyer explains why India turned to wide yorkers against New Zealand
Shreyas Iyer shared, "So, after 10 overs, I realized that anything they were bowling hard length or even half volleys was going into the stands. I just said to try and bowl yorkers as much as possible, even if you bowl six-ball yorkers."
"Make them hit down the ground, or a wide yorker is going to help us on this wicket. So, yeah, we were able to execute that and minimize that run rate to eight to nine; that helped us a lot to keep them at 10 runs and over. And yeah, our plan was to restrict them under 200."
