Scoring 126 in a T20I against a team like India is never enough as long as it is New Zealand on the other side. The 2016 World T20 was a remarkable event for the Kiwis and will be remembered for their demolition of India. After restricting New Zealand to a low total of 126, Dhoni & co. were hoping to achieve the target with more than 4-5 overs to spare, but the story turned out to be a lot different. The Dhoni-led power-packed side got all-out for just 79 runs.
The left-arm orthodox spinner Mitchell Santner took minutes to become the hero of the innings. He first removed Rohit Sharma and then went on to take the crucial wickets of Indian T20 specialists like Dhoni, Raina, and Pandya. His figures of 4 for 11 in 4 overs earned him the Man of the Match trophy. The Hamilton-born player got good support from Ish Sodhi and Nathan McCullum.
