Center-Right Owned by Living Media IndiaHow Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma helped Gurnoor Brar bounce back in New Zealand
What's behind this
India’s seam bowlers thrived in Wellington as they beat New Zealand by four runs via the Duckworth‑Lewis‑Stern method in the rain‑hit second ODI, giving Shubman Gill’s side a 2‑0 series lead and breaking Australia’s 2005 record. After a dramatic batting collapse that left New Zealand 113/7 in 26 overs, persistent showers ended the contest early. Young pacer Gurnoor Brar’s four‑wicket haul (4‑30) powered the win and earned him Player of the Match, with captain Gill backing the bowler’s consistency. The conditions were described as seam‑friendly.
