Virat Kohli will be gutted: Dale Steyn after India suffer crushing defeat vs New Zealand in T20 World Cup

Former South Africa speedster Dale Steyn said “Virat Kohli will be gutted” with India’s 8-wicket defeat against New Zealand in Dubai on Sunday which has made their prospects of qualifying for the ICC T20 World Cup semifinals very difficult.

Put in to bat, India’s rejigged top order wilted in no time and the 2007 champions crawled to 110-7 in 20 overs in the Super 12 match. Trent Boult took 3-20 and Ish Sodhi returned 2-17 in New Zealand’s disciplined bowling display even though they spilled a couple of catches.

Daryl Mitchell made a fluent 49 and skipper Kane Williamson remained not out on 33 as New Zealand triumphed with 33 balls to spare to bounce back from the defeat by Pakistan in their tournament opener.
