Matt Henry gave New Zealand a dream start as he removed star India batters Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Shreyas Iyer in the first over of the second innings during the 4th ODI at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui on Friday.

While Rohit and Shreyas recorded golden ducks, Kohli registered a four-ball duck in India’s 334-run chase.

Fast bowler Henry got Rohit caught at first slip, squaring the opening batter with the seam movement. Four balls later, Kohli was cleaned up as he missed a nip backer that remained slightly lower than expected.

Shreyas was then trapped in front with a nip backer as he missed his defence and Henry went off with a celebrappeal to finish a triple wicket maiden over.

This was only the second instance of a bowler picking three or more wickets in the first over of an ODI innings since the ball-by-ball records have been maintained.

Chaminda Vaas holds the record of picking four wickets in the first over of an ODI during the 2003 World Cup match against Bangladesh.

Earlier, New Zealand scored a competitive 333 all out courtesy of a Will Young century.

India leads the series 2-0 after three ODIs with the third game getting washed out without a ball bowled due to rain.
