The failure in the 1st T20I adds more pressure on the 24-year-old. With Prithvi Shaw waiting in the wings, Kishan will be desperate for big scores as he tries to keep his place in the playing XI. Before coming out to bat, Ishan had a great day in the field as he inflicted a run-out during the New Zealand innings. Kishan ran out Bracewell for just 1 run with a direct hit from behind the stumps. The incident happened in the 18th over of the New Zealand innings.
Daryl Mitchell looked to slog Arshdeep Singh’s delivery but couldn’t make the connection. The ball clipped his thigh pad before rolling to the left of the keeper. Ishan grabbed the ball and hit the stumps with Bracewell falling short of his crease.
@ShubmanGill & @ishankishan51 4th consecutive failure in T20Is, 3 against Srilanka & 1 against NZ , Failed to give good start , @PrithviShaw must be looked for opening slot, need quick fire opening, gill & ishan slow starter

IND vs NZ 1st T20I: RECAP
Devon Conway and Daryl Mitchell conjured up fluent and fiery half-centuries before the spinners choked the hosts as New Zealand outplayed India by 21 runs in the opening T20I to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series in Ranchi on Friday.
Asked to take first strike, opener Conway continued his purple patch with a 35-ball 52, while Mitchell smashed a 30-ball unbeaten 59, which included a last-over thrashing of Arshdeep Singh for 27 runs, to power the Black Caps to a challenging 176 for six.
The Kiwi bowlers, led by Mitchell Santner (2/11) and Michael Bracewell (2/31), then spun a web around the home batters, restrict India to 155 for 9 in 20 overs.
