Taylor slams century, NZ seals series

India's misery to win an ODI in overseas is still continuing. On Wednesday India lost the fourth ODI to New Zealand eventually they lost the series also. Having won the toss, Dhoni opted to bat for the first time in twenty games. Shikhar Dhawan and Suresh Raina were rested giving chance to Ambati Rayudu and Stuart Binny. Virat Kohli opened the batting but he did not score much. Rahane was promoted to first down, his form is troubling the middle order. Then stepped in Rayudu and along with another opener Rohit both batted quite good. Just when the partnership was looking good, Rayudu departed for 37. Meanwhile Rohit complete half century and it is his first in the series. Later Rohit and Ashwin were removed in quick succession. Dhoni and Jadeja made sure India did not loose another wicket. Both scored half centuries and took the team to a decent total.

Batting second, as usual New Zealand went to flying start with Ryder and Guptill. However, Varun Aaron and Shami removed both openers. Kane Williamson who is super form this series scored yet another half century in this series. Ross Taylor was show stealer with an unbeaten century. Along with McCullum, New Zealand chased the target quite smoothly without any problem.

Indian bowlers are very expensive and are not learning from their previous mistakes. Dhoni's foolish captaincy also paid the price. Roping Stuart Binny an allrounder, Dhoni did not at all utilized him and pathetically Rayudu was given bowling.
