India tumble in fourth ODI against NZ, get bowled out for 92
Hamilton, Jan 31 (IBNS): Though India have already clinched series win, the men-in-blue were bowled out for just 92 by New Zealand in the fourth ODI match at Seddon Park here on Thursday.
Winning the toss, New Zealand had asked Rohit Sharma-led India to bat first.
However, none of the Indian batsmen could resist the superb bowling by the Kiwis.
Yuzvendra Chahal (18), Hardik Pandya (16), Kuldeep Yadav (15) and Shikhar Dhawan (13) only had double-digit scores against their names.
Trent Boult clinched five wickets for the hosts conceding just 21 runs in 10 overs.
Colin de Grandhomme picked three while Todd Astle and James Neesham shared one wicket each.
Winning the first three matches, India have taken an unbeatable 3-0 lead in the five-match series.
Sharma is leading India in absence of regular skipper Virat Kohli, who has been rested for the rest of the series.
Shubman Gill made debut for India on Thursday. He was handed over the blue cap by senior cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni. However, Gill could only score nine runs.
