India lost to New Zealand in the 2nd T20 match held in Chennai today evening. NZ scored 167 in 20 overs with the help of the remarkable innings by the today's Man of the match B.McCullum with 91 not out beside his name. Irfan Pathan took 3 wickets in his 4 overs spell. India was so close to win the match but forced to stop to 166 in 20 overs by New Zealand bowlers. It was a last ball finishing chance for Rohit Sharma who need to hit a boundary in the last ball of James Franklin, but he managed to have 2 singles only and India lost to NZ by 1 run. Virat Kohli played a fine innings of 70 out of 41 balls before he was out by Franklin. Yuvraj played well too, scored 34 of 26 with 2 blustering sixes and a four. He came with the India jersey after a long one year gap. But Yuvraj showed a great commitment to cricket as he defeated his cancer and came bak to his normal life. In spite of the loose it is a good news for Dhoni that Y.Singh is totally fit and fine to be regular in India team, Yuvi was 100% fine in field, good running between the wicket and also took a catch of Franklin. By the result of today win, New Zealand also grab the series too as the 1st match out of 2 was washed out and the result in favor of NZ 1-0.
