Blackcaps vs Pakistan: NZ players celebrate win with dressing-room Bhangra dancing

  • 20/11/2018

The fall of Pakistan's final wicket sparked wild scenes of celebration among the Blackcaps cricketers, after the third-umpire review confirmed the leg-before-wicket decision that secured a remarkable test win in Abu Dhabi.

That joy spilled into the NZ changing room, where two Kiwis of Indian heritage - Jeet Raval and Ish Sodhi - kept the festive vibes going with a spot of Bhangra dancing, a Punjabi folk custom.

Batsman Ross Taylor captured the scenes on social media, as the beer and laughter flowed following a famous test win.

The four-run victory was the fifth-closest in test history and NZ's second innings total of 176 was the second-lowest total they've ever successfully defended.

Ajaz Patel was the star of the show for NZ, with the spinner snaring a five-wicket haul in a dream debut.

The second test begins in Dubai on Saturday.
