Aakash Chopra Analyzes Gurnoor Brar's Success Against New Zealand

Former India opener Aakash Chopra attributes pacer Gurnoor Brar's effectiveness against New Zealand to his height, high-arm action, and ability to extract steep, awkward bounce from short-of-good-length deliveries. Brar recently recorded career-best figures of 4/30 in the second ODI, dismissing key batters like Tom Latham and Glenn Phillips to help India secure a narrow victory.

The win, decided by the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method after rain interrupted play, gave India a 2-0 lead in the five-match series. Despite the visitors struggling at 113/7 during their chase, Brar’s performance and contributions from bowlers Auqib Nabi and Anshul Kamboj proved decisive in restricting New Zealand to 134.
