The last time India defeated New Zealand in an ICC men’s multi-team event, the current Board of Control for Cricket in India president was the captain of the team and the reported next head coach was batting at No 5 and also the wicketkeeper.
Yes, it was in March 2003 when the Sourav Ganguly-led side defeated New Zealand in Centurion. And since then, Indian men have not won a match against Black Caps at the biggest of stages. Twice in T20 World Cups, once in an ODI World Cup and thrice in the World Test Championship including the final... the list of heartbreaks for the men in blue (or white) has been long. Even before 2003, there was the ICC Knockout Trophy heartbreak in 2000.
And it is in that background that Virat Kohli’s men take on Kane Williamson and Co on Sunday in Dubai in a match that has huge significance for their respective futures at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021.
