Kuldeep Yadav claimed four wickets to guide India towards a comprehensive 90-run victory in the 2nd ODI. Chasing down a target of 325, the bowlers wrapped up the Kiwis innings on 234. Apart from Yadav, Bhuvaneshwar Kumar and Yuzvendra Chahal grabbed two wickets each.
In the batting unit, openers Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma got India to a flying start as they added over 150 runs for the opening wicket. MS Dhoni along with and Kedar Jadhav added 86 runs in the final 10 overs to post 324 on the board.
The cricket fraternity from across the globe hailed India’s dominance over the Kiwis. Many even praised Dhoni for his lightning-quick work behind the stumps to dismiss Ross Taylor.
Here are the tweets:
India have a good formula going. Most important they are taking wickets which is the key in limited overs cricket. And they are doing this without Bumrah. If the World Cup were to be played today India would be almost ready.

Kuldeep and Chahal — KulCha as they are known now — have run circles around Kiwi batsmen once again. Clearly the deadliest ODI bowlers in the middle overs & India’s biggest strength
