Watch: Shivam Dube smashes Ish Sodhi for 100-meter six during IND vs NZ 2nd T20I

The second T20I of the five-match series between India and New Zealand in Raipur was only about the raining sixes and fours as a total of 21 boundaries and 12 over boundaries were hit in just 15.2 overs by the Indian side, while the Blackcaps smashed 23 boundaries and eight over-boundaries in their allotted 20 overs of the innings.

Apart from the two glorious and aggressive knocks of Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube also enjoyed his time in the middle as he smashed Ish Sodhi for a 100-m six on the second ball of the 12th over as he went down on his knee and launched the tossed-up delivery over the long-on region for a massive over-boundary.

India completed the chase in 15.2 overs as it became their highest target successfully chased, going past the same 209 runs against Australia three years ago in Vizag.
