Virat Kohli’s India beat New Zealand in a match reduced to eight overs a side by rain to beat the Kiwis in a T20 series for the first time 2-1.
India made 67-5 with Manish Pandey hitting 17 off 11 balls and Kohli 13. Though the result could have gone either way with just two balls remaining, New Zealand reached just 61-6 with Colin de Grandhomme making an unbeaten 17.
India had never beaten New Zealand in a T20 match going into this series.
Twitter hailed Kohli and co as they beat the Kiwis for the first time in a T20I series.
That was exciting as holy hell.
Fuck T20.T8 is where it’s at.#INDvsNZ— Sorabh Pant (@hankypanty) November 7, 2017
