5 Talking Points from the 2nd ODI between India and New Zealand

#2 – Corey Anderson’s contentious catch

Anderson signals his unsureness to the umpire after the grab

Though talisman Virat Kohli was sent back to the dressing room, India still seemed to be heading towards the target as Ajinkya Rahane and Manish Pandey joined hands to steady the ship. At 72/2 from the 18.3 overs, they were keen on not losing another wicket.

Following a 48-ball 28, the onus was on Rahane to not lose his patience and build a noteworthy innings. But, he miscued a pull shot and could only find the agile Corey Anderson at fine leg. Though replays showed that the ball might have bounced just in front of him, there was not sufficient evidence to overturn the on-field call which meant New Zealand had picked up another crucial breakthrough.
