New Zealand vs India, 1st ODI, India tour of New Zealand, 2022 - CommentaryNZ vs IND, 1st ODI, India tour of New Zealand, 2022 - Commentary

Priyanshu: Remember how Latham sacrificed the opening slot & started batting at 5 to counter spin bowling in the middle. Also started keeping wickets to allow NZ more variety. Feels so good when such selfless players get so much recognition.

Manoj: India team hardly show any fight back. They simply give up when things get start going away from them, even slightly. Especially bowling and fielding becomes too poor. So sad to see!

Amit Goel: Sometimes I think we become so focused on India winning that we do not enjoy good cricket. Latham and Williamson are playing gem of an innings and we are not trying to enjoying that.

Aayush: Looks like NZ will chase this target with 3-4 overs remaining

Yaswanth: Other teams should definitely learn from NZ and Kane. How to build innings, how to build a partnership, how to play responsibly and stabilise the innings..

Arup Dutta: This match is slipping away from India. Perfect setup for Williamson here. Unless India get a wicket or two, this game will be over soon.

Sunil Joshi: Umran can be used in many phases of the ODI game. He can make the best use of his pace with the new ball, can pick up wickets in the middle overs and importantly the extra pace will do wonders when nothing seems to be happening on flat tracks

Romario: Waiting to see Jammu Express - Umran Malik in action..

Sunil Joshi: @Ankit: The conundrum has heated up. Rahul was a revelation batting at 5. Pant also has had impactful innings recently. With SKY in top form, it will be difficult to leave anyone out.

Ankit: Shreyas Iyer should be a permanent to bat at no 4 even when Rahul returns to ODIs. Rahul, Pant and Samson should battle for the wicketkeeper slot of no 5.

Utsav Amitendu Agarwal: This gear shift from Iyer is the perfect ODI approach, it seems. We are heading for an entertaining finish.

Raghav Medar: Every Indian cricket fan wanted Sanju in the team and what a platform he has got now to prove his worth.

Yj: @ankit Give the guy Pant a break. He scored a match-winning century the last time he played a Odi - in Eng against Eng.

SV: @Neeraj That's where someone like Hardik Pandya comes. His game allows us to go with another bowler. He himself can bowl and blast the innings towards the end. He also has the capability to hold in case wickets are falling.

Neeraj R: The problem with this Indian team is, it's too rigid. Not even a single part time bowler in the line-up. If any of the bowlers go for runs, you essentially lose the match.

Harsha: Finding the perfect 15 as soon as possible and giving them more chances is more important than winning these bilaterals. It's good to see team management and Dhawan challenging themselves with only five bowling options.

Shyam: Ferguson Vs Umran Malik the pace battle I am waiting for

Nabin: India only playing with 5 bowing option. Sundar and Thakur can go for big runs and Urman and Arshdeep making their debut. India need to score more than 300 runs to win the match as their bowling looks so weak.

Naman: @Lohit The difference between India and England is that India plays T20s like mini ODIs, while Eng plays ODIs like extended T20s.

Lohit: A lot was discussed about the use of powerplay in T20s during the world cup. I think same goes in ODIs as well, one of the reasons why England are white ball champions.

Ankit: Risabh Pant is getting much more opportunities than others. He just can't be retained just because of his performances in test matches. Conditions are always different in a test match. He should prove his worth in this series.

Lohit: Would love to see Surya at no. 3

Prasad: Good to see that Sanju got a chance at last.
