Social media is focusing exclusively on Hardik Pandya's contribution. Devon Conway, the New Zealander's opener, sought to drive the ball back, but instead gave the Indian all-rounder a low catch when Pandya pitched up to him. Conway was dismissed for 7 from 16 balls when Pandya made a spectacular left-handed catch, pulling the ball up before it reached the ground. Everyone, even the pundits, were in awe of the effort.

Daryl Mitchell and starter Finn Allen were both were dismissed by Shami for 0 and 1 runs, respectively. Henry Nicholls was dismissed by Siraj for 2 off of 29 balls. Earlier, Team India captain Rohit Sharma chose to field first after winning the toss at Raipur's Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium. The international game being played in Raipur is a first.
