3 major reasons for India's victory in the second T20I against New Zealand

3) Contributions from everyone in the team

New Zealand Black Caps v India - International T20 Game 2

Cricket is a team game. Individual performance might win you a match or two, but to keep winning constantly, the whole team needs to perform.

This was exactly what was witnessed from team India. Everyone in the side contributed in one way or the other. Bhuvneshwar Kumar picked up the dangerous Tim Seifert upfront. Then, Khaleel Ahmed and Krunal Pandya picked up important wickets in the middle and end stages. Hardik Pandya too removed the dangerous looking Colin De Grandhomme.

In the batting also, the middle order batsmen in the form of MS Dhoni and Rishabh Pant played their parts and closed the match for India.

Performances like these, where everyone contributes, are the best. After being rolled over in the first T20I, every member in the team upped their game and showed why India is a world class side, playing anywhere in the world.

The series now stands level at 1-1.
