WATCH: Dhoni's 'moment of brilliance' against New Zealand

Kiwi spinner Ish Sodhi fired a flat and wide delivery outside off to surprise Dhoni. The experienced wicketkeeper-batsman who first shimmied down later realized that it was out of reach and allowed his bottom-hand go and glide it to point for a single.

Former Indian captain MS Dhoni keeps on coming up with moments of brilliance as a keeper during crucial moments of the game. The world cup winning captain yet again proved why he is still one of the most significant middle-order batsman in the current Indian team.

In the 16th over of the Indian innings, Kiwi spinner Ish Sodhi fired a flat and wide delivery outside off to surprise Dhoni. The experienced wicketkeeper-batsman who first shimmied down later realized that it was out of reach and allowed his bottom-hand go and glide it to point for a single.

Skipper Rohit Sharma's quickfire half-century and useful contributions from Shikhar Dhawan (30) and Rishabh Pant (36 not out) saw India outplay New Zealand by seven wickets in the second Twenty20 International match here on Friday.

With this win, India have leveled the three match series 1-1.

Chasing 159, the Indian openers --Rohit and Dhawan-- played fearlessly and in no time the duo slammed 79 runs in 9.2 overs before Rohit was dismissed by spinner Ish Sodhi.

Rohit played brilliant shots all around the park to complete his half century. The Mumbai batsman played 29 balls and slammed three boundaries and four sixes.
