India vs New Zealand 2017, 2nd T20I: 5 things we learnt from the match

#2 Dhawan-Rohit's rare failure and Boult's double

Dhawan and Rohit have more often than not given India a scorching start

India's openers - Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma - have been in such prolific form of late that on most occasions the Indian middle-order have had a solid platform to build their innings on. However, in the second T20I, with 197 to chase down, the openers let India down.

Dhawan was cleaned up by Boult in the second over of the innings, missing a fairly straight ball, while Rohit Sharma edged him to the keeper in the very same over to put India in a spot of bother. At 11/2, the middle-order was exposed quite early and Boult, after recording his worst T20I figures last game, scripted a fine start for the Kiwis with the new ball.
