Fourth ODI: Rohit and Kishan drop New Zealand opener on consecutive deliveries
India's cricket team struggled with fielding errors during the fourth ODI against New Zealand, dropping two catches in consecutive deliveries. Despite these lapses, India remains in a strong position to win the series under new captain Shreyas Iyer.
Why it matters
The match highlights the ongoing transition in Indian cricket leadership and the competitive nature of the bilateral series.
First time was so nice, India had to do it twice. New Zealand opener Will Young was given two lives in the space of two balls after Rohit Sharma and wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan dropped catches off consecutive deliveries in the fourth ODI at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui on Friday.The two chances came off the fifth and sixth balls of the second over, bowled by Auqib Nabi. Rohit was the first to put down a catch at first slip after Young edged a delivery outside off stump. Kishan then missed another opportunity behind the stumps off the very next ball, with Young getting another outside edge. Nabi was left disappointed as India failed to make the most of two early chances.Meanwhile, India may have a new captain, but their success at the toss has continued.
