The New Zealand team is coming to India to play a 3-match ODI series and a 3-match T20I series. India won the first match of the 3 ODI series by 12 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the 3 ODI series.
Subsequently, the 2nd ODI between the two teams will be played today at the Shaheed Vir Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur. This is the first international match at this stadium. In this, Indian team captain Rohit Sharma, who won the toss, kept his hand on his forehead and thought whether to choose batting or fielding. After that he chose to bowl while smiling.
The New Zealand captain and the Indian players who were training behind them watched the incident with laughter.
