India opener Abhishek Sharma was on a roll against New Zealand in the first T20I in Nagpur after the aggressive left-handed batter hammered a 22-ball fifty.

After being put into bat, India lost a couple of early wickets after wicket-keeper batter Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan who made a comeback to the Indian setup with this match were out early. But Abhishek along with captain Suryakumar Yadav provided the resistance.

The two chipped in with a brilliant stand for the third wicket. Abhishek eventually scored 84 off 35.
