Brendon McCullum In Awe Of Kane Williamson's 'Masterstroke'

By IANS News June 26, 2021 • 13:35 PM View: 1778

The decision to throw the ball to Kyle Jamieson, a first-change bowler for New Zealand, to open the bowling attack on the reserve day of the World Test Championship final against India was a Kane Williamson "masterstroke", feels former Black Caps skipper Brendon McCullum.

New Zealand defeated the Virat Kohli-led India by eight wickets, with Jamieson dismissing both overnight batsmen, the dangerous Cheteshwar Pujara (15) and skipper Kohli (13), in quick succession to inflict a body blow to India's chances of saving the Test.
