#WATCH: Hitman pulls off John Cena's famous act

• India beat New Zealand by 4 runs via DLS method in the 2nd ODI.
• A bowling spell from Auqib Nabi saw Kiwis bowled out for 134 runs.
• Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli shared a viral John Cena gesture.

During the 2nd ODI of the series between India and New Zealand, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli shared a light-hearted exchange on the field. As Glenn Phillips walked out to bat, the stadium DJ played the iconic

WWE entrance music of John Cena. The entry song is routinely played for the Kiwi all-rounder, and he is cheered on by the fans.

However, when the song began to play, Rohit Sharma broke into John Cena’s “You can’t see me” gesture and waved his hand across his face. On seeing the gesture of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli joined in on the act and shared a hearty laugh.

The fun-filled moment went viral on social media platforms as the iconic Ro-Ko duo stole the show yet again. The gesture from Rohit Sharma came as a continuation of a similar action made by Virat Kohli in the 1st ODI of the series in Auckland. The 38-year-old playfully passed Phillips and recreated the celebration of John Cena.

Apart from the fun exchange on the field, Ajinkya Rahane imitated the gesture along with the commentators on his panel as well. Later, Ajay Jadeja also joined in on the act and made it an entertaining moment for all the viewers.

RoKo jahaan, entertainment wahaan! 🖐️

The boys are bringing the swagger, the banter and a whole lot of ‘You Can’t See Me’ energy! 😅

India secure hard-fought 4-run victory under the DLS method

The 2nd ODI of the series between India and New Zealand was once again dominated by the Indian bowlers, and the Kiwi batting order stumbled yet again. The hosts lost half of their side for just 53 runs, and the pacers were running riot with the new ball. Auqib Nabi initiated the destruction with two early wickets, getting rid of both Will Young and Tim Seifert. 

Then Darryl Mitchell provided the hosts with a glimmer of hope with a half-century, but Axar Patel fought back by dismissing him. Auqib Nabi joined in on the act, and he produced a magnificent bowling spell in which he got rid of 4 middle-order batters of the New Zealand batting unit. India bowled out the Kiwis for just 134, and that put India in a comfortable position.

However, things didn’t go as well as planned for India as they lost 4 wickets for just 47 runs and they started similarly like the Kiwis. The Indian skipper was dismissed for a golden duck, and Kohli’s heroics from the previous game couldn’t be repeated. The uneven bounce of the pitch proved to be difficult for the batting unit.

Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul managed to navigate a difficult passage of play with a cautious approach, and that steadied the ship. Even after the dismissal of Iyer, Rahul stood his ground and made sure that all the opportunities were converted. The wickets kept falling on the other end, but the Indian wicketkeeper was firm in his approach. Later, the match was interrupted by rain, and as India were ahead of the DLS par score, the Men in Blue won the game by 4 runs.
