IND vs NZ: India made 4 big mistakes in the 1st T20 or else India would have won the match

In the first T20 match of the series between India and New Zealand which is being played in Wellington's Westpac Stadium. In this match, Indian team faced a huge defeat in the hands of the hosts by 80 runs and Blackcaps took a 1-0 lead in the series.

Earlier, India won the toss and invited the hosts to bat first. Batting first, the Kiwi team scored 219 in 20 overs, Tim Seifert played a stormy inning on behalf of New Zealand, he scored 84 runs in 43 balls. India made big mistakes in the first T20, which became the main reason for this huge defeat. Let's see.

1. Kiwi opener Tim Seifert came out off syllabus for India:

Kiwi opening batsmen gave a good start after putting to bat first. Munro and Seifert added 66 runs in the Power Play overs. Seifert made important contributions in the form of 84 runs in 43 balls which helped New Zealand to post a huge total.

2. Only 3 specialist bowlers included in the team:

The second biggest reason for the defeat of the Indian team is poor team selection. The Indian team went into the ground with just 3 front line bowlers. Which is the main reason for the defeat.

3. Kuldeep Yadav was dropped:

Kuldeep Yadav is India's most prominent spin bowler and excluding him in the first T20 is certainly a bad selection and the results are front of us.

4. Rohit Sharma flopped again:
