INDvNZ, 5th T20I: Ishan’s ton and Arsh’s high five seal it 4-1!

By Mumbai Indians

WOW. Just wow. 💥

What did we just witness?

Another reminder of why India are the No. 1 T20I team in the world. Fight like champions. Finish like champions. And seal the series in absolute style. 👊

Here’s how the final T20I turned into a blockbuster 👇

Ishan’s blazing ton lights it up 🔥

Winning the toss, India went big. Really big.

The plan was clear. Put a monster total on the board. And leading the charge was the Pocket Dynamo himself.

Ishan Kishan produced a stunning century, pacing his knock to perfection before going full throttle. The acceleration was unreal as India rocketed from 102 at the halfway mark to a massive 271 by the end.

Clean hits. Fearless intent. A knock for the ages. 💯

Dada & HP bonanza 💙

The Mum-bhais made sure the momentum never dipped.

Surya Dada continued his purple patch, bringing up his third fifty of the series and also ticking off 3000 T20I runs along the way. Calm, classy and completely in control.

Then came the HP injection. Pandya smashed 42 off just 17 balls, adding the perfect finishing touch to a near-flawless batting effort.

A brave chase, Arsh closes it out 🖐️

To their credit, New Zealand didn’t roll over.

They fought hard, pushed back and even gave India a brief scare. But when the moment arrived, India held firm.

And leading the fight was Arshdeep Singh. After a tough start where he went 1 for 40 in his first two overs, Arsh showed incredible heart to bounce back and finish with a stunning five-wicket haul.

Series sealed. 4-1. Statement made. Momentum locked in.
