Virat Kohli does not need us, we need him: Bumrah
Bumrah, however, stressed that Kohli knows his cricket better than anyone else and that his experience of batting in these challenging conditions was essential from the team’s perspective.
Yet another all-round display guided India to a thumping 90-run victory over New Zealand in the second contest of the five-match ODI rubber at the Bay Oval here on Saturday to go 2-0 up the series.
After putting a challenging 324/4 on board, the visitors bowled out the Kiwis on 234, thanks to another exceptional bowling effort by chinaman Kuldeep Yadav (4/45).
It has previously been announced that skipper Virat Kohli would be rested for the fourth and fifth matches, with Rohit Sharma stepping in for the third tie.
