Matt Henry removes Rohit, Kohli and Iyer in opening-over burst
New Zealand Cricket's Short passes two million views as Henry's spell brings back memories of the 2019 World Cup semi-final.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 2,618,147 views a day, 82 times a normal first day on this channel (31,912).
3 Wickets In 6 Balls! Matt Henry vs India
Next story: Blair Tickner takes Arshdeep Singh for three sixes in an over
Rohit Sharma edges the first ball to the slips. Virat Kohli loses his stumps. Shreyas Iyer survives an appeal, but not the review. Before India can score a run, Matt Henry has dismissed three of their leading batters.
New Zealand Cricket's "3 Wickets In 6 Balls! Matt Henry vs India" compresses that extraordinary start into a Short that reached roughly 2.2 million views in 17 hours, far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for the format.
The final dismissal supplies a different kind of tension from the first two. The umpire turns down Henry's lbw appeal against Iyer, New Zealand immediately asks for a review, and ball-tracking shows the delivery going on to hit the stumps. The decision changes. India's score still hasn't.
Several viewers draw a line back to the 2019 World Cup semi-final, another occasion when Henry dismantled India's top order. He was player of the match in that New Zealand victory, so the memories have a particular name attached to them.
This opening over was only part of his contribution: the channel's companion highlights cover Henry's six-wicket haul in New Zealand's fourth-ODI win. Those highlights and Gautam Gambhir's post-match reaction are also drawing unusually large audiences. Henry's own reaction video carries a rather calmer title: ""Keep It Simple" Matt Henry Reacts | New Zealand v India 4th ODI".
