Twitter trolls Dhoni for his slow innings 1

A batting collapse once again caused the downfall for the Indian team as the hosts lost the fourth ODI against New Zealand by 19 runs.

Earlier, New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson won the toss and elected to bat first. His team went off to a flying start as Tom Latham and Martin Guptill added 96 runs for the first wicket. With 199 for 4 after the end of 40th overs, the Kiwis would have fancied their chances of scoring something around 300. However,just like the previous matches, losing wickets at regular intervals after getting a strong start made it tough for the visitors to score freely. The disciplined bowling from the Indian spinners made the task of scoring quickly even tougher for the Kiwis. The visitors finally ended their innings on 260 for 7.

In reply, India started poorly as Rohit Sharma once again failed with the bat and could score only 11. But then a 79-run partnership between Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane steadied the ship. And just when the hosts were taking a strengthing their position in the team,Ish Sodhi dismissed Kohli to bring New Zealand in the contest. But the real damage was done after Rahane’s dismissal as it opened the floodgates. From 128 for 2, the Indian team was reduced to 167 for 7. MS Dhoni’s men were finally dismissed for 241.

The five-match series is now locked at 2-2.

Meanwhile, Indian skipper MS Dhoni, who scored 80 runs in the previous match, was brutally trolled after another failure with the willow. He scored 11 runs off 31 balls and faced the wrath of the fans for the slow innings.
