But Virat Kohli (23) kept going. The Indian hopes were alive till Ish Sodhi's flight caught an edge off his bat. (Photo: PTI)
Under pressure, India fell prey to smart captaincy from Kane Williamson. He quickly closed midwicket bringing in Martin Guptill when Suresh Raina (1) gifted him a sitter. (Photo: AP)
Mitchell Santner soon joined the party and sent the dangerous Rohit Sharma (5) back, stumped by wicketkeeper Luke Ronchi. (Photo: AP)
The Indians fell to their own medicine at home - spin. Chasing a meagre 127, Dhawan (1) was the first to depart. Nathan McCullum trapped him leg-before. (Photo: AP)
