New Zealand v South Africa - 2nd ODI
Sodhi has been impressive for the Kiwis in T20s

In the 2016 World T20 in India, the hosts were faced with New Zealand in the tournament opener and it turned out to be a memorable match for the Black Caps as their spinners - Ish Sodhi and Mitchell Santner - spun a web around the Indians on a dry Nagpur pitch. Sodhi claimed the prized scalp of Kohli after bamboozling him with some huge turn.

Here, the Indian skipper started off with a bang against the leggie, dismissing him through mid-wicket with a pull shot before stepping down the track and lofting him for a maximum over long-on of consecutive balls. But the Kiwi spinner had the last laugh as two balls later, Kohli miscued a pull off a fuller length ball to be caught in the deep.
