IND vs NZ 3rd ODI: In the third ODI, New Zealand defeated Team India by runs and won the 3-match ODI series 2-1. The Indian team had a huge target of 338 runs to win the series, but the batsmen struggled to chase it. Virat Kohli batted brilliantly and scored a century, but it did not work for the Indian cricket team. Harshit Rana also played an explosive half-century. He scored the first half century of his ODI career. In the end the Kiwis won the match. For the first time the New Zealand team has won the ODI series.

Team India won the toss

At the Holkar Stadium in Indore, Team India captain Shubman Gill won the toss and decided to bat first, which proved to be right in the beginning, but later the Kiwis made a comeback. There was a partnership of 219 runs in 188 balls between Daryl Mitchell and Glenn Phillips, due to which New Zealand put 338 runs on the board after losing 8 wickets in 50 overs. Both the batsmen scored centuries. Daryl's bat scored 135 runs in 131 balls with the help of 15 fours and 3 sixes. Phillips played an innings of 106 runs on 88 balls with the help of 9 fours and 3 sixes. Will Young contributed 30 runs and Michael Bracewell contributed 28* runs.

Bad condition of Indian bowlers

Team India's bowlers were badly beaten in the third ODI. However, the bowlers had sent out both the openers on the score of just 7 runs, but after that the situation turned upside down. Harshit Rana took 3 wickets, but gave away 84 runs in 10 overs. Kuldeep Yadav gave 48 runs in 6 overs. Nitish Kumar Reddy gave 53 runs in 8 overs. Arshdeep Singh dismissed 3 batsmen for 63 runs in 10 overs. Ravindra Jadeja did not take a single wicket for 41 runs in 6 overs. The team's spinners could not tighten their grip in the middle overs.

Virat Kohli's century in vain

Team India had to chase 338 runs, in reply Rohit Sharma (11) and Shubman Gill (23) were out after scoring runs. Shreyas Iyer (3) and KL Rahul (1) went on after scoring runs. Virat Kohli stood at one end and played a brilliant century. He scored 124 runs in 108 balls with the help of 10 fours and 3 sixes. During his tenure it seemed that India could win the match, but it did not happen. Virat was supported by Nitish Kumar Reddy and Harshit Rana. Nitish played an inning of 53 runs, while Rana scored 53 runs in 43 balls (4 fours and 4 sixes). Apart from Virat, the Indian innings fell apart due to lack of support from the top order. The team could reach 296 in 46 overs.

New Zealand created history

The New Zealand team has created a new history by coming to India. Till now, ODI series was played between the two teams 7 times, in which Team India won all the times, but this time the matter was reversed. The Kiwis finally broke the losing streak and won the ODI series for the first time on Indian soil. The Indian team had to see this under the captaincy of Shubman Gill.
