Mahendra Singh Dhoni watched from 22 yards as heir apparent Rishabh Pant showed spunk in a tricky situation, guiding India to Its maiden Twenty20 International victory on New Zealand soil here on Friday.
The seven-wicket triumph was set up by skipper Rohit Sharma (50, 29b) and Shihar Dhawan (30, 31b) with a 79-run stand after Krunal Pandya daimed three wickets to restrict New Zealand to 158 for eight.
Milestone
With his whirlwind fifty, Rohit also became the top run-getter in the format, surpassing Martin Guptill.
Dhoni, the original master finisher, couldn't have been happier as he saw Pant control what could have been a tricky 159-run chase with an unbeaten 40 off 28 balls. The series Is tied 1-1 with the decider in Hamilton on Sunday.
