The India vs New Zealand T20I series is already underway with the Men in Blue looking to exact their revenge against the Blackcaps, having lost to them in the recently concluded World Cup. The Kiwis won by eight wickets on that occasion as they chased down the target of 111 runs in just 14.3 overs.

As a result of such a disappointing defeat, Team India are likely to be fired up to get the better of New Zealand. Deepak Chahar's intense look after picking up the wicket of Martin Guptill in the first innings is a clear example of that.

Netizens discuss Deepak Chahar's look

One netizen took to their official Twitter handle and posted a fire emoji after they saw Deepak Chahar's intense look after wicking up the wicket of Martin Guptill.

Another fan was happy to see Chahar's response after Guptill had hit him for a no-look six and had stared at the Indian bowler.

One social media user found humour in how things panned out. They wrote that 'Guptill gave a look to Deepak Chahar after hitting a six,' only to see himself return to the pavilion with the Indian pacer striking.

Meanwhile, several other reactions can be seen below.
