'Horror Start For Team India': Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma And Shreyas Iyer Depart For Duck As Matt Henry Runs Havoc In 1st Over | Video
· Free Press Journal
It won't be amiss to say that cricket has just witnessed a horrifying ODI start for Team India, with three batsmen departing in the very first over without scoring a single run, and the worst part is that the target is humongous and now looks formidable to chase. Matt Henry went on a rampage in his first over, dismissing Rohit Sharma on the very first ball of the innings, followed by a clean bowl of Virat Kohli on his 4th delivery and finally ending the destructive over with another golden duck of Team India skipper Shreyas Iyer.

At the end of the first over, Team India stands at 0 for three wickets, with Ruturaj Gaikwad and Ishan Kishan on strike, playing their first-ever game of the ongoing bilateral series.
New Zealand put 333 runs in the first innings:
Standing Team India skipper, Shreyas Iyer, invited the hosts to bat first after winning the toss, a move which didn't go well with the destructive batting performance by the Kiwis. Opener Will Young scored 125 with a strike rate of 115, while Tim Seifert scored 58 off 48 deliveries.

It looked like Team India would manage to chase with the kind of batting lineup it has, although Matt Henry had other plans. Rohit Sharma, who walked down the crease with Ruturaj Gaikwad in the absence of Shubman Gill, was sent back to the pavilion on the very first ball.

Team India fans hoped to recover from the shock as Virat Kohli, the ultimate chasemaster who is known to turn such tacky situations to the team's advantage, walked down the crease only to get clean bowled without scoring a single run.
