Watch: Harshit Rana mocks Devon Conway with fourth dismissal in IND vs NZ 2nd T20I
Harshit Rana, the right-arm pacer of the Indian side, making his return to the playing XI, mocked the opponnet opening batter, Devon Conway, for the fourth time during the second T20I of the five-match series.
Harshit Rana, who dismissed Devon Conway, in all three ODIs of the three-match series against New Zealand before the five match T20I series, marked his return to the playing 11 of the 20-over format, during the second clash against the opponent at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur as the management decided to give a break to their premier pacer, Jasprit Bumrah.
It continued to the opening T20 game as Rana dismissed Conway for the fourth time in the white-ball series, as he also gave a send-off to the wicket-keeper left-handed opening batter as he made his way back to the dressing room. As of now, Conway has an average of 4.50 in eight runs of 25 balls against the Indian pacer in this tour.

On the second wall of the fourth over of the innings, Conway did not spot the slower delivery from Rana as he was deceived by the pace and went for the shot early. He too ended the ball towards mid-off, where Hardik Pandya moved to his right and made a juggling catch comfortably.

New Zealand, who are down by a 0-1 margin in the second T20I of the series, followed the approach of the Indian side and kept on going against the bowlers from the start despite losing wickets at regular intervals.

Ratin Ravindra contributed 44 runs at number three in just twenty-six deliveries at a strike rate of 170, thanks to a couple of boundaries and four sixes, while the rest of the batter also batted at a strike rate of over 150. But, they needed someone to flourish in the late batting order, as it was provided by their captain, Mitchell Santner, who remained unbeaten on 47 runs in 27 balls.
The 47-run partnership in 19 balls for the seventh wicket carried the Black Caps to over 200-run mark as they finished with 208 for the loss of six wickets in their allotted twenty overs of the first innings.
Brief Scores: New Zealand 208/6 (Mitchell Santner 47*, Rachin Ravindra 44, Kuldeep Yadav 2/35) vs India.
