Tim Seifert’s blistering 84 off 43 powered New Zealand to a thumping 80-run win over India in the first T20I at the Westpac Stadium in Wellington. “I YouTubed Brendon McCullum and watched some of his innings. Kinda funny when I got told that I’ll be opening the innings, Seifert told Star Sports. I’d be lying if I said Baz wasn’t one of my heroes growing up,” Seifert said at his post-match press conference. “Obviously you try to be yourself out there, but I definitely have looked at Baz throughout my childhood,” he added.
