Deepak Chahar did not have a great outing with the ball in the match. He was the most expensive bowler on the night, with figures of 4-0-42-1. Deepak will be looking to put in an improved performance in the second T20I.
It was a complete bowling performance from the unit: Rohit Sharma
Indian skipper Rohit Sharma applauded the bowling unit for restricting New Zealand to 164 as they looked set to score above 180 at one stage. He reserved special praise for Ashwin, who picked up wickets and put a lid on run-scoring during the middle overs. Speaking at the post-match conference after winning his first game as regular skipper, Rohit Sharma said:
"At one stage, they looked set for 180+ but in the end it was a great effort from the bowlers. It was a complete bowling performance for all of us. The spinners have been brilliant. They ball in tandem for the Delhi Capital and we've seen over the years that they are a wicket-taking option in the middle, which is a good sign."
"It'll give them more confidence. Ash has played a lot of cricket. For him to come back from the World Cup has been good. We know his quality and the same goes for Axar."
Team India will now head to Ranchi to play their second match of the series. They will look to seal the series by winning the game on Friday.
