India started their three-match T20I series against New Zealand on a disappointing note, as they lost the contest by 80 runs. Shikhar Dhawan and Vijay Shankar played some big shots around the park but the Indian opener failed to capitalise on the start. After Dhawan’s dismissal, India continued to lose wickets at regular interval as the Men In Blue were wrapped for 139. The cricket fraternity hailed the New Zealand team for demolishing the Men In Blue in the first encounter.
