India captain Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli looked unhappy as play continued despite rain during the first ODI against New Zealand in Auckland on Wednesday.The match was initially halted in the 11th over after India’s chase of 186, with the visitors at 29/1. Kohli batted 29 while Gill 17.Play resumed after a delay of over an hour, with India’s target revised to 167 under the DLS method. However, the rain returned after just a few deliveries were played.As the umpires struggled to complete the 12th over, both Kohli and Gill seemed reluctant to continue in the conditions. Before the final over, Kohli smiled and told umpire Paul Reiffel, “Look at the screen, I can’t see the ball,” before making the double kettlebell gesture.Gill also spoke to the square-leg umpire to make his point, but the officials seemed keen to finish the over. Meanwhile, New Zealand bowler Blair Tickner pulled his shirt over his head, seemingly in jest, as Gill took his time to prepare.Gill survived the last delivery before play was stopped again, with India 64/1 after 12 overs.WATCH LIVE
