WATCH | Hardik Pandya's 'bullet-throw' to dismiss Santner:Shivam Dube's unfortunate dismissal after 101m six, dog invades Vizag ground; moments records

New Zealand defeated India by 50 runs in the fourth match of the T20 series. Chasing a target of 216 runs in Visakhapatnam, the Indian team was all out for 165 runs in 18.4 overs. Despite this loss, Shivam Dube was the biggest positive for India. He scored a half-century in just 16 balls, setting the record for India's third-fastest fifty in T20 Internationals. He hit a 101-meter long six on the very first ball of his innings. Rinku Singh stood out in fielding. He created history by taking four brilliant catches in the match, becoming India's second outfielder to take four catches in an innings. Top Moments from IND-NZ 4th T20I 1. Dog invades ACA-VDCA stadium in Vizag During the first innings, there was an unexpected moment when a dog entered the field of play at the ACA-VDCA Stadium in Vizag. The animal ran on the field and interrupted play for a while. Shivam Dube hits 101m six Shivam Dube smashed Mitchell Santner for a massive 101m six. Facing his first ball in the ninth over after Hardik Pandya's dismissal, the powerful Dube dispatched New Zealand's captain for a massive maximum over the long-on fence. This was the start of what would turn out to be a fascinating knock from the 32-year-old. 2. Hardik Pandya pulls off stunning run-out Hardik Pandya pulled off a sensational run-out to dismiss Mitchell Santner in the first innings of the match. This happened in the 17th over when Santner tried to take a quick run after hitting the ball towards short third man, but Hardik had other ideas. The all-rounder pulled off a bullet throw which caught Santnet short at the non-striker's end. Despite a big dive, the Kiwi captain fell short, resulting in his dismissal for 11 runs. 3. Shivam Dube's bizarre run-out at the non-strikers' end Shivam Dube's special knock ended in the most unfortunate circumstances at the non-striker's end. Harshit Rana, facing the last delivery of the 15th over, hit the ball straight in Matt Henry's direction. The ball touched Henry's hand and crashed into the stumps at the non-striker's end with Dube way outside his crease. This was one of the turning points of the match, which saw India lose by 50 runs. 4. Conway takes Abhishek's catch and keeps the ball in the pocket After taking Abhishek Sharma's catch, who got out for duck in the 4th T20I, New Zealand batter Devon Conway kept the ball in his pocket. Notably, India's opener returned to the pavilion after being dismissed on the first ball of the innings. 5. Bumrah dropped Seifert's catch New Zealand opener Tim Seifert got a life on the third ball of the first over of their innings. Seifert tried to play a flick shot off Arshdeep Singh's delivery, but the ball swung and took the top edge of the bat. Jasprit Bumrah, standing at short third man, ran backwards and even reached the ball, but couldn't complete the catch. The ball slipped from his hand and went towards the boundary. 6. Abhishek out on first ball, Surya's catch dropped The match started poorly for India. On the very first ball of Matt Henry's over, Abhishek Sharma stepped forward to play a big shot, but got an outside edge and the ball went high towards backward point. There, Conway, running quickly from deep, took a brilliant diving catch and Abhishek Sharma returned to the pavilion without scoring. After this, captain Suryakumar Yadav's catch was dropped on the last ball of the same over. Suryakumar's shot on a short-of-length delivery took a leading edge and went up in the air. Matt Henry tried to take the catch by sliding in his follow-through, but the ball fell to the ground just before his hands. However, in the very next over, Jacob Duffy dismissed him by catching him off his own bowling. He could only score 8 runs. 7. Daryl Mitchell shares batting tips with Shreyas Iyer Daryl Mitchell was seen sharing batting tips with Shreyas Iyer after the match. In a video shared by New Zealand Cricket on social media, Mitchell was seen speaking to Iyer on his stance and foot position while batting. Top Records from IND-NZ 4th T20I 1.

The record for the fastest fifty in T20I for India is held by Yuvraj Singh, who scored a half-century in 12 balls against England in the 2007 T20 World Cup. 2. Henry becomes the second bowler to dismiss both openers on the first ball in a series Matt Henry has become only the second bowler in T20 International history to dismiss an opener on the very first ball of the innings twice in the same series. In this very series, Henry first sent Sanju Samson back to the pavilion on the first ball in Guwahati, and then Abhishek Sharma in Visakhapatnam. Before this, such a feat was achieved by Abdul Nasir Baloch (Sweden) during the Nordic T20 Cup in 2023. 3. New Zealand's second-highest T20 total against India New Zealand made their second-highest T20 total against India. The team scored 215 runs.

First 100+ opening partnership against India after 2022 In T20Is, a 100+ opening partnership was seen for the first time against India after 2022. Before this, such a feat occurred in the semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2022, when Jos Buttler and Alex Hales made an unbeaten 170-run opening partnership in Adelaide. Speaking of India's home soil, this was the first 100+ opening partnership in India after 2017. Before this, Colin Munro and Martin Guptill had made an opening partnership of 105 runs in Rajkot. 5. Seifert equals Taylor and Williamson Tim Seifert scored a half-century against India in just 25 balls, making his way into the list of fastest 50-scoring batsmen for New Zealand. With this achievement, he equalled Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor. Earlier, in a T20 match played in Auckland in 2020, Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor had also completed their half-centuries in 25 balls. 6. New Zealand's highest powerplay total against India New Zealand set a new record in the power play in T20Is against India. The team scored 71 runs without losing a wicket in the first 6 overs, which is New Zealand's biggest powerplay score against India to date. Previously, this record was held by 68/0 made in Auckland in 2020. The special thing was that this performance became even bigger on Indian soil, because 71/0 is the third-highest powerplay total against India by any team in India. 7. Rinku becomes the second Indian to take four catches in an innings In T20s, Rinku Singh became the second Indian outfielder to take four catches in a single innings.
