Rohit Sharma 🆚 Kyle Jamieson

A wide gives Rohit Sharma another delivery to face, and Kyle Jamieson makes that extra ball count. Sharma's aerial shot heads towards mid-off, where Mitchell Santner dives forward to take the catch.

The opening-over sequence has drawn more than 600,000 views in 17 hours on New Zealand Cricket's official channel, far beyond the usual first-day audience for its Shorts.

In "Rohit Sharma 🆚 Kyle Jamieson", the threat builds before the wicket arrives. The commentator picks out early swing and movement as Sharma works through the deliveries without scoring. Then Jamieson strays down the leg side. What looks like a small release of pressure instead extends the over long enough for New Zealand to get their breakthrough.

"The extra ball does the trick," the commentator says as Sharma departs and the fielders celebrate.

The comments split their attention between the bowler's opening spell and the batter's next chance. Some viewers compare Jamieson's early threat with Trent Boult's, while others call for patience with Sharma and predict a comeback innings.

Fielding is getting attention elsewhere on the channel, too: "Outrageous Catch By Glenn Phillips", another clip from the opening New Zealand-India ODI, is also drawing a substantially larger audience than a usual Short.
