Ind Vs Nz Live: Hardik Pandya In! India Crosses 200 Despite Samson's Departure
The Ahmedabad crowd is still finding its voice after that massive wicket. Hardik Pandya has walked out to the middle following Sanju Samson's record-breaking 89. With Ishan Kishan already well-set on 54, the stage is set for a grandstand finish. Jimmy Neesham has momentarily pulled things back with that wicket on his first ball, but the pressure remains squarely on the Black Caps.
| Ishan Kishan: | 54* (24b) | 4s: 4 | 6s: 4 |
| Hardik Pandya: | 0* (2b) |
🏏 Partnership Watch:
Kishan and Hardik need to rebuild the momentum instantly. With 27 balls remaining, India will be aiming for at least another 60-70 runs to push this total toward the 270 mark.
Neesham is using his variations well here, mixing up the pace to keep Hardik guessing. However, Kishan is striking at 225.00 and looks ready to take on any bowler who misses their mark.
