India’s unstoppable record was broken in Dhoni’s city Ranchi. Team India was defeated by New Zealand by 21 runs in the first match of the T20 series. There were many interesting moments to be seen in this Friday evening match full of ups and downs. Washington Sundar’s super catch as well as Ishaan Kishan’s direct throw are going to be remembered for a long time. At the same time, Arshdeep Singh did an over which he himself would like to forget as soon as possible. Let’s go through all such moments once again…

Washington’s great catch
After losing the toss, the New Zealand team came out to bat and scored 37 runs in 4 overs. In such a situation, Captain Pandya handed the ball to Washington Sundar. Batsman Finn Allen hit the very first ball of the over for a six. However, Sundar equalized on the very next ball. He got Allen caught by Suryakumar Yadav standing at deep midwicket and made him walk. The excitement of this over did not end there.

On the last ball of the over, Sundar made Mark Chapman walk on the score of zero. Left-handed batsman Chapman wanted to push Sundar’s slower ball. But could not handle the shot and the ball went in the air towards the front. Sundar leapt to the right and took the catch with one hand. Chapman returned to the pavilion without opening an account.

Sundar wanted to pull this ball, but the ball took the top edge of the bat and pitched over fine leg. In such a situation, wicketkeeper Conway ran backwards to catch the catch. From the other side, Ish Sodhi also comes towards the ball. It appeared that Conway would attempt, but Sodhi went ahead. In the confusion of both, the ball fell on the ground.

In the 20th over of the Indian innings, fast bowler Loki Ferguson hit Washington Sundar with a scintillating bouncer. Due to which Sundar staggered. It is a matter of honor that he did not get any injury. Sundar completed his first T20 half-century on the very next ball. He could not win Team India but he definitely won the hearts of the fans by performing brilliantly in all three batting, bowling and fielding.
