India vs New Zealand 2017, 2nd T20I: Hits and Misses

#5 Hit: Ish Sodhi

On a track where the Indian spinners gave away runs at an economy of 10.7 runs per over, Ish Sodhi not only contained the run flow but also picked up the wicket of Pandya, thereby making a permanent dent on India's chances of winning the game.

He was hit for a six by Dhoni in the third over of his spell, but responded beautifully to give away just 1 run in the next four balls. His economy through the match was just 6.2 rpo, which is even more brilliant considering the fact that India were looking to attack from the word go.

He bowled most of his overs to an in-form Kohli and a pumped Iyer, but yet did not let them score off his bowling. His four-over spell proved vital in ushering the vto the 40-run victory and his ability to contain the run-flow was conducive to creating as well as maintaining pressure on t Indian batsmen.
