New Delhi: India's premier pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar on Sunday sent back New Zealand all-rounder Corey Anderson with an unplayable delivery in their warm-up game ahead of ICC Champions Trophy 2017.
After winning toss at Kennington Oval, London, Anderson opted to bat first. But a brilliant Mohammed Shami new-ball spell reduced the Kiwi innings to 63/3 inside the ninth over, thus summoning Anderson in the centre.
Anderson started his innings in a cautions note, then hit Bhuvi for two fours in the 13th over. But the Indian pacer exacted revenge in the 15th over with a brilliant delivery, which uprooted the leg stump.

Anderson made 13 off 20 balls with the help of three fours, while Bhuvi produced figures of 6.4-1-28-3.
Chasing 190-run target, India won the match by 45 runs via D/L method after rain stopped the play at Kennington Oval.
India will play Bangladesh in their second warm-up on Tuesday at the same venue before the start of title defence with a blockbuster clash against arch-rivals Pakistan on June 4.
