India tour of New Zealand 2022

The first of three T20Is between India and New Zealand saw rain getting the better of both teams as the game gets abandoned due to incessant showers. While the stubborn rain did not show any signs of relenting, players from both teams still managed to square off with each other. In a game of footvolley, the players from both teams did not let the rain put a damper on their spirits as they shared a jolly match in footvolley and cricket took a backseat.&nbsp;

‘He leads by example both on and off the field’: VVS Laxman hails India's stand-in skipper ahead of 1st T20I vs New Zealand

India's young bowling phenom Arshdeep Singh's surge in the cricketing world in such a short span speaks volume about his skillset. In no time he has become one of India's most bankable bowlers in the death-overs. The 23-year-old left-arm India pacer was one of the positives of India's T20 World Cup campaign that ended with a semifinal defeat to eventual champions England. Meanwhile, former South African star Jonty Rhodes feels Arshdeep Singh has grown tremendously as a cricketer and has great potential but comparing him to the great Wasim Akram will put him under pressure.
