'Wobble seam was working very well' - Anshul Kamboj on match-winning spell against New Zealand

Anshul Kamboj delivered an exceptional bowling display during India's opening one-day international against New Zealand, earning the player of the match accolade. The 25-year-old pacer restricted the opposition by conceding just 22 runs across ten overs while recording 46 dot balls and claiming two wickets.

His strategic use of the wobble seam proved particularly effective in dismantling the middle order as the visitors defended their total in a rain-impacted fixture.

Following the contest, the Haryana fast bowler highlighted his reliance on discipline, proper line and length, and reading the pitch conditions rather than getting overwhelmed by the surface. Supported by figures from Arshdeep Singh and Gurnoor Brar, India successfully chased down the revised target under the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method.

Key batting contributions from Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill secured the victory for the touring side.
