NZ vs IND: Ravi Shastri spots a promising signs in Gurnoor Brar's growing confidence

What's behind this

Ravi Shastri highlighted promising signs in Gurnoor Brar’s growing confidence after the pacer delivered a four‑wicket haul that earned him Player of the Match in the second ODI in Wellington. Brar adjusted well to the “trampoline‑like” uneven bounce, exploiting the extra bounce and pace to bowl to his strengths, registering the second‑best figures by an Indian pacer against New Zealand. India’s fast bowlers kept New Zealand under sustained pressure, with the hosts failing to cross 200 runs in either of the first two matches – a rare feat in 24 years. The rain‑curtailed game ended with India winning by four runs via the DLS method.
