In Dubai on Sunday, India captain Rohit Sharma said he would have batted first even if he had won the toss against New Zealand. The skipper made sense because India had chased in their two matches so far in this Champions Trophy; however, the famed top order was not allowed to take off by the new-ball Kiwi bowlers.
In 6.4 overs, the NZ pacers blew away India's in-form top three -- Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. At 30 for 3, India found themselves in a situation they hadn't experienced so far in the tournament.
