India vs New Zealand - Report
India continued the brilliant run in the ongoing World Cup and defeated New Zealand by four wickets in Dharamsala on Sunday. This was India's fifth win from the same number of matches which helped the hosts climb to the top in the points table.
India had to chase 274 and they wrapped up the proceedings with two overs to spare. Virat Kohli led India's run chase but he missed out on a well deserved century. Kohli was dismissed for 95(104) but New Zealand were already out of contention. Kohli constructed three fifty-plus stands (52 with Shreyas Iyer, 54 with KL Rahul, and 78 with Ravindra Jadeja). Jadeja played a brilliant inning and returned unbeaten on 39 off 44 balls.
Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill gave India a strong start. The pair added 71 runs for the first wicket before Lockie Ferguson cleaned up Rohit for 46(40). Then Ferguson got rid of Gill for 26(31).

Mitchell played an amazing inning of 130 in 127 balls, but New Zealand could score just 54 runs in the last 10 overs as they lost six wickets.
The lack of a sixth seamer due to Hardik Pandya being injured and Shardul Thakur being dropped was felt keenly as the batters targetted Kuldeep Yadav. He conceded 32 runs in his first three overs but the Indian seamers were relentless in the first 10 overs and Mohammed Shami went on to dismiss Will Young with his first ball of the match in that period.
The partnership between Ravindra and Mitchell went past 150 when Bumrah dropped Mitchell at the boundary and the ball went over for four. In the 34th over with Shami dismissed Ravindra for 75 off 87 balls. Kuldeep then got the wicket of New Zealand captain Tom Latham shortly but Mitchell fought alone. He eventually scored his fifth ODI century. The Men in Blues then fought back and New Zealand were all out for 273.

Top 10 bowlers with most wickets in IPL history:
10. Ravindra Jadeja | 160* Wickets
Ravindra Jadeja is easily the most well-rounded cricketer India has ever produced. A major portion of his success needs to be credited to the IPL, as the Saurashtra superstar built his international career by learning in the IPL under cricketing greats like Shane Warne, MS Dhoni, Stephen Fleming, and others.
Apart from missing the 2010 season, Ravindra Jadeja has played all the other seasons with him representing Chennai Super Kings (CSK) since 2012. He has played 240 games taking 160 wickets with the ball with an average of 30.40 and an economy rate of 7.62.
His generational fielding skills have also shined, as the 36-year-old has taken 103 catches in the competition, making him ‘The Ultimate All-rounder’ as he is the only player to have 1000+ runs, 100+ wickets, and 100+ catches, fulfilling his 3-dimensional abilities to the fullest.

Though 108 of these wickets have come in death overs where batters try to score at a faster pace and often get out in the process, still his overall numbers are too good to be questioned.
Malinga started playing for Mumbai Indians in the 2009 season, and last appeared in the 2019 season. His final over in the 2019 final was enough to prove his greatness even at that stage of his career.
7. Amit Mishra | 174 Wickets

5. Sunil Narine | 180* Wickets
The next bowler on this is none other than the West Indies magician Sunil Narine. Narine has taken 180 wickets in 176 games with an average of 25.39 and bowls with an economy rate of 6.73.
He has been a crucial member of the Kolkata-based franchise KKR, as the franchise won the league back in 2012, 2014, and 2024.
