India vs New Zealand 2017, 2nd ODI: 5 things we learnt from the match 

#3 Henry Nicholls and Colin de Grandhomme entertain

Nicholls played some pleasing shots before being undone by Bhuvneshwar Kumar

There is a reason New Zealand sent an 'A' team to India a month before this series. Henry Nicholls, part of that 'A' team, earned some valuable experience from that tour. He was also with the High-Performance Unit, practising on dry wickets before this tour. It paid dividends as he looked quite comfortable against the spinners, plundering runs with utmost ease.

Colin de Grandhomme, on the other hand, is already familiar with these conditions having featured in the IPL, and unfurled some big hits to race to a run-a-ball 41. But, after Bhuvneshwar knocked Nicholls over, de Grandhomme lost his cool and miscued a wide delivery from Chahal to short third man.
