Boult to Dhoni, out Caught by Santner!! Bouncer. Dhoni pulls and like his most shots today, this too has no timing at all. Finds Santner at backward square leg who holds on this time. A lot of questions are already being printed and typed across the cricketing circles as he walks back. Dhoni c Santner b Boult 49(37) [4s-2 6s-3]

Did it change when India had a dull period around the 7th over when they could only score 10 runs in three overs? Or did it change when it became evident that Dhoni had left timing at the hotel. One can also say that the Indian bowlers did not bowl well. Maybe they got overawed by a shiny pitch and did not bowl according to their skills and were sucked into mediocrity. Flat darters skids on and went out of the park. On contrary, the New Zealand bowlers flighted and varied their lengths as well, keeping in check two of the clean strikers of the ball.

Openers went back early. Can happen in a chase like this. But after that they looked like deer in headlights. Iyer's occasional slaps worked for a while but he was overawed by the score on the board. Not everyone is Kohli. Pandya had another failure and then came Dhoni with a lot of reputation which seem to bog him down these days. Could not time at all and by the time it consumed Kohli, the match was sitting in the lap of the tourists.
