Dubai: Virat Kohli may have endured a disappointing outing against New Zealand in the fourth ODI, but the Indian batting star showed his humble side after the match by gifting his jersey to fast bowler Matt Henry, who had dismissed him for a duck.
Henry produced a sensational performance at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui on Friday, November 13, taking six wickets as New Zealand defeated India by 244 runs. The right-arm pacer had a particularly memorable moment early in the second innings when he dismissed three of India’s leading batters in the opening over.
After the match, Henry received Kohli’s jersey, a thoughtful gesture from the former India captain that highlighted the mutual respect between two of international cricket’s leading figures.
Kohli’s dismissal was among the highlights of Henry’s remarkable opening spell. After removing Rohit Sharma with the first delivery of the innings, the New Zealand pacer struck again on the fifth ball to send Kohli back to the pavilion.
