India's first T-20 win against New Zealand

The Indian cricket team finally broke the jinx and registered its very first ever T-20 win against New Zealand. In the match, Dhawan - Sharma hit a 158-run record opening partnership and Nehra's sturdy resolve was also difficult to match. It was Ashish Nehra’s farewell match on home turf and the 53-run win for India was a nice gift to the veteran player.


भारतीय क्रिकेट टीम ने आखिरकार बदकिस्मती को तोड़ते हुए न्यूजीलैंड के खिलाफ टी -20 में अपनी पहली बड़ी जीत दर्ज की। मैच में धवन-शर्मा ने 158 रनों की कीर्तीमान्य शुरूआती साझेदारी की और नेहरा के दृढ़ संकल्प का मेल करना कठिन था। यह आशिष नेहरा का घरेलू मैदान पर विदाई मैच था और भारत की 53 रनों से जीत होना इस अनुभवी खिलाड़ी के लिए एक शानदार उपहार था।
