Gurnoor Brar Reveals Mid-Match Length Change That Troubled New Zealand in 1st ODI

Gurnoor Brar took 3/44 in 9.2 overs as India bowled New Zealand out for 185 in the first ODI at Eden Park, Auckland.
Brar said he changed his length after conceding a six from a slightly fuller delivery in his opening over.
The straight boundary at Eden Park is relatively short, so Brar decided to pull his length back and make it harder for batters to hit over square leg and fine leg.
Arshdeep Singh and Anshul Kamboj advised Brar that a hard length could generate more bounce because of his height.
Brar dismissed Tim Seifert, Tom Latham and Blair Tickner during New Zealand's innings.
