India A concluded their NZ tour with a draw as the Indian stalwarts joined the side to hear up for the upcoming Test series against the Kiwis. It was an amazing display of dominance by India as they piled up 467 runs as Ajinkya Rahane and in-form Shubman Gill scoring centuries to close off the game.

India staged a strong comeback in Christchurch to draw the match which was virtually out of their group to take the two-match unofficial Test series to Lincoln for the decider. Shubman Gill and skipper Hanuma Vihari held the fort on the fourth and final day with a double ton and ton respectively.

The opening day of the first unofficial Test between India A and New Zealand A saw the hosts dominate after Shubman Gill and Hanuma Vihari's fight went in vain as India collapsed for just 216. Courtesy Michael Rae’s 4 for and Rachin Ravindra’s 47, the Kiwis are 111 runs adrift of India A’s total.

MS Dhoni is known for his surreal wicketkeeping and presence of mind behind the stumps and it was on full display yesterday in the first T20I against New Zealand. With a quick throw coming into him, and Dhoni standing with his back towards the stumps, let the ball through to inflict the direct hit.
