KEY STORY

  • New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson played a pivotal role in the Black Caps gaining a lead over India in the ongoing World Test Championship final. The right-handed batsman batted for 177 deliveries and scored crucial 49 runs before being dismissed by Ishant Sharma.
  • Williamson spent ample time in the middle and negated the Indian pace attack, who accounted for the wickets of Ross Ross Taylor, Henry Nicholas and BJ Watling in the first session of the 5th day’s play.
  • Williamson stood there rock solid and batted at a strike-rate of 27.68. His long stay at the crease denied India an upper hand and the Kiwis ended up getting the lead of 32 runs. Frustrated with Williamson’s long stay at the crease, a fan asked Bollywood actor Sonu Sood to send him back to the pavilion.
  • For the unversed, Sonu Sood has helped countless people since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic by making travel arrangements for them. Apart from that, he has also arranged various resources for people. Sonu reposed faith in Indian bowlers and backed them to dismiss Williamson.
    “Hello @SonuSood, please Williamson ko pavilion bhej do,” the user wrote. “हमारी टीम में ऐसे दिग्गज हैं जो खुद ही भेज देंगे। 
    देखा, गया ना।,” Sonu responded. 

Williamson was dismissed when the Kiwis were 4 runs ahead of India’s tally. Pacer Tim Southee played a key role with the bat as well and scored a crucial 30 off 46.
India finished the 5th day’s play at 64/2, leading by 32 runs. Though India hold the lead, they still aren’t the favourites. The batsmen will have to spend much time in the middle to keep India in the contest.
On the other hand, NZ can swing the game in their favour in just one session. The pressure is on India and their first aim would be to spend at least one wicketless session in the middle.
