6.4 – Overs that New Zealand took to dismiss India’s top-three batters on Sunday. These are the fewest overs that any team has needed to dismiss India’s top-three batters in a men’s ODI since the 2019 World Cup semi-final, where New Zealand took only 3.1 overs.2 – Instances of India’s top-three of Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli getting out in the first 10 overs of an ODI innings. The other instance was against Sri Lanka in 2023 at the Eden Gardens. The trio of Rohit, Gill and Kohli have been India’s top-three batters in an ODI on 29 occasions.46 for 3 – India’s total at the end of the 15th over, their second-lowest in men’s ODIs since 2020, behind 45 for 2 against South Africa in 2022. India, however, recovered significantly, by scoring 139 runs in the next 25 overs despite losing three more wickets.Related
