Just gonna leave this here

Winning endless bilaterals is pointless if India don’t learn anything about themselves along the way

Congratulations are in order as India have defeated the T20 World Cup runners-up in a bilateral series less than a week after the Black Caps were left dejected against Australia. But, what has really come out of the triumph, asks Sarah Waris.

Bold from Rohit. Chose to bat first on a Kolkata track, rested Ash & KLR. Great decisions indeed!

Nice to see Southee rest himself to keep himself fresh for the Test series.

That's Rohit Sharma . I guess he did same in Ipl 2017

Loving this approach from India. Trying to go after the bowling in Powerplay.

Looks we are the only 2 watching the match. We should also get bored someday and not watch a game.

Hitman gone after scoring fifty runs

I love today’s approach from India. I am happy Iyer and Iyer both have this opportunity to bat out and score big for India.

On other topic, I know bi-laterals are meaningless and this series right after the world cup might seem boring but that is the only way teams other then the big 3 will survive, heck even English board wont survive without the bilaterals and meaningless series.

New Zealand will make some money from this series, remove this series and teams will stop surviving. This is plain and simple truth.

A quick cameo from Deepak Chahar

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

And the cameo is useless given he gave the same runs in the first over plus the drop!

Bapuuuu!

Bapu on fire today.

I hope today's match does serve as a building block in the build up towards the next World T20 WC under Rohit-Dravid.
