Kishan's Maiden T20I Ton, Arshdeep's Fifer Seal India's Series Win Over NZ

• Ishan Kishan scored his maiden T20I century (103 off 43 balls) and Arshdeep Singh took a five-wicket haul (5/51) to lead India to a 46-run victory over New Zealand.
• India won the fifth and final T20I match in Thiruvananthapuram, securing the series 4-1 and concluding their T20 World Cup preparations on a high note.
• India posted a massive total of 271 for five, with significant contributions from Kishan and skipper Suryakumar Yadav (63 off 30 balls).
• New Zealand, despite Fin Allen's aggressive 80 off 38 balls, were bowled out for 225, with Axar Patel (3/33) and Varun Chakravarthy (1/36) also contributing with crucial wickets.
• Sanju Samson's continued struggles with the bat (6 runs) raise concerns about his T20 World Cup selection, especially as Kishan also kept wickets.
