After India’s victories in the ODI series, it was expected that the team would perform similarly in the T20 series against New Zealand as well. But clearly, that was not to be.
Virat Kohli was not playing the match, and Rohit Sharma had stepped in as the Captain. To say that their performance was a disaster, would be the understatement of the century.
The team lost by a whopping 80 runs, and Twitter is blaming Khaleel Ahmed for it. The 21 year old pacer did not perform up to the mark, and basically handed over 48 runs to the Black Caps in the first innings.
This is what Twitterati had to say:

Can’t win with Khaleel Ahmed in T20 and Vijay Shankar!!! No chance @ImRo45 @BCCI . Can’t chase the big target when there are no specialists bowlers and @imVkohli

Khaleel Ahmed and Siraj are given way too much chance. Not impressive at all.
