India vs New Zealand, 1st T20I Highlights: Rahul, Kohli, Iyer set up 6-wicket win for India

India win by 6 wickets
Southee to Shreyas Iyer, SIX. Iyer finishes things off in style. Brilliant innings from him today at the No. 4 position. After India lost three quick wickets, Iyer took upon the onus on himself and never let India get off the track in the 204 chase. Virat Kohli (45) and KL Rahul (56) had set a strong base with their 2nd-wicket partnership after losing Rohit Sharma early. The middle-order then did not disappoint with Iyer playing a major role.

Meanwhile, This was the third-highest target chased down by India in T20Is.

Shreyas Iyer goes berserk
Southee to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR. He gets to his half-century in no time. What an innings from this young player. He has been taking every bowler to the cleaners. First a six off Southee and now a boundary.
