When Kohli gave Henry the India jersey after Kiwi win & 12,477 day compliment

In a thrilling fourth ODI, New Zealand emerged victorious over India by a margin of 244 runs at Mount Maunganui on Friday. Matt Henry delivered a masterclass performance, claiming six wickets, while Will Young led the way with a century. India, tasked with chasing a massive total of 334, struggled to find form, ultimately failing to post a competitive score.

Henry's opening over proved devastating, dismissing Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Shreyas Iyer without them managing to score. This formidable start sent a clear message to India, who had no chance of chasing the total after Henry's onslaught. Ishan Kishan was India's highest scorer with a meager 27 runs.

New Zealand's batting display was anchored by Will Young, who scored 125 runs off 108 balls, including 14 fours and four sixes. Young's innings was further bolstered by a solid opening partnership with Tim Seifert, who contributed 50 runs off just 39 balls. Nick Kelly and Dean Foxcroft added further impetus with reckless shots, contributing to the imposing total.

Finn Allen and Dean Foxcroft provided crucial support, combining to score 90 runs in just 65 balls. Allen's aggressive innings included five fours and two sixes. Axar Patel, Axum Nabi, and Gurnoor Brar contributed valuable wickets with the ball, taking 2-39, 2-59, and 2-69 respectively. Despite India's late efforts, they were unable to challenge New Zealand's imposing total, handing them a 2-1 series lead.
