In this corporate world, a manager should not treat his/her employees like slaves. The manager has no idea how lethal & cruel a particular employee would be.
When the boss makes it personal, then either Vivacious either will ignore or make such a staggering comeback that the manager would be buried alive, not physically but mentally because the manager shouldn’t have crossed the limits.
Vivacious is not a human being, he is a Zeitgeist and can rattle any human being on the planet. Nevertheless, Vivacious now has established a name in the industry and is unstoppable.
New Zealand razed India by chasing 111 runs in 14.3 overs by 8 wickets. The match was played at the Dubai International Stadium on 31st October. New Zealand were absolutely brutal with ball & bat as their NRR (Net Run Rate) has peaked and it is +0.765. India now is almost out of the tournament as their fate is in another’s hand (*Afghanistan needs to defeat New Zealand). But first they need to win with huge margin against Afghanistan, Namibia & Scotland. The NRR of India is -1.609 which has put them on the brink of elimination.

New Zealand had won the toss & elected to bowl. India made some serious & controversial changes to their playing 11. They picked Ishan Kishan & Shardul Thakur in place of Suryakumar Yadav & Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Suryakumar was injured. India took a bold decision by opening with Ishan & Rahul. Rohit Sharma was dropped by Adam Milne on 0 on the bowling of Trent Boult. India once again got jolted in the power-play overs. India lost 3 wickets for 35 runs. Rahul & Kishan were pressurized by the immaculate setup of Kiwi’s bowlers.
India didn’t score a single boundary for a span of 70 balls (5.2 to 16.5 overs). The likes of Rishabh Pant & Hardik Pandya were playing too casually as they didn’t take any risks. Somehow in the end Ravindra Jadeja salvaged some pride by putting a score of 110 runs by scoring 26 runs in 19 balls.
The batting scores of India’s batters:
KL Rahul scored 18 runs in 16 balls
Rohit Sharma scored 14 runs in 14 balls
Virat Kohli scored 9 runs in 17 balls
Rishabh Pant scored 12 runs in 19 balls
There was no intent from batters as the passion was seen missing. 8 fours & 2 sixes were hit which is not acceptable at ICC Tournament.
New Zealand’s every bowler exploited the fear. Trent Boult mesmerized via his swing as he took 3 wickets for 20 runs. Ish Sodhi eliminated Virat Kohli & Rohit Sharma the two cannons. It as if looked like New Zealand were playing against a weaker team.

In response to the target of 111 runs New Zealand scored 44 runs for the loss of 1 wicket of Guptill. The unexpected match winner for New Zealand with the bat was Daryl Mitchell as he scored 49 runs in 35 balls. In his knock he smashed 4 fours & 3 sixes. Daryl would rue the that he missed out on a deserving half-century. As calm as ice the skipper Kane Williamson carried out the finishing duties as he scored 33 runs in 31 balls.

Jasprit Bumrah was the only bowler who took all the wickets & was economical. The management & skipper Virat Kohli needs to exhibit the team’s performance rather than boasting. Once again, he trusted Varun Chakravarthy instead of Ravichandran Ashwin. There are some serious problems in selection as the openers were changed & most importantly whole-sale changes have become a trend.

India needs to have some serious talks & conversations. The brand of Cricket which they are playing can get them completely eliminated by playing against Afghanistan on 3rd November at Abu Dhabi. The change of venue can change the fortune which the entire billion people would hope of.
New Zealand would be high on confidence as they throwed India out of contention. New Zealand are due to play Scotland & Namibia which would be relatively easier compared to Pakistan & India. New Zealand should be ready for an uphill task as defeating Afghanistan won’t be easy. New Zealand & Afghanistan are alike to each other which will make an even contest on 07th November at Abu Dhabi.
