WATCH | Ish Sodhi Gets Teary-Eyed During India's National Anthem Ahead of T20 WC Final vs India; Emotional Clip Goes Viral

India vs New Zealand: Things got a tad bit too emotional when the two teams - India and New Zealand - walked out to the centre on Sunday and stood for the toss at the Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad. But there was something that caught the attention of one and all, it was New Zealand cricketer of Indian origin Ish Sodhi getting teary-eyed when the Indian national anthem was played. It truly was a sight to behold. The 33-year-old was born in Ludhiana and hence Sodhi crying was understandable. 

Here is the clip that shows Sodhi getting emotional.

Earlier in the day, NZ won the toss and put India into bat first. The Indian openers Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson got the side off to a rollicking start. While Abhishek hit the fastest fifty of the tournament in just 18 balls, Samson carried his good run forward scoring a belligerent 89. Ishan Kishan too hit a quickfire fifty as India posted a mammoth 255 for five in 20 overs. 

India Maul Kiwis

From the outset the target seemed impossible and the Indian bowlers made the run-getting even more difficult for the NZ batters as they kept chipping away at the wickets not allowing any batter to settle down. There is no doubt that India were the superior side on the night that mattered the most. It was a collective team effort as everyone chipped in and contributed. One has to admit that it was a complete game from Team India and they were the deserving winners.
