By Nikhil Bapat Pune, Oct 25 (PTI) India produced a professional performance under pressure to beat New Zealand by six wickets in a must-win game and level three-match series 1-1 here today. India, who had to bounce back following their shock loss in the series opener, proved their mettle with an all-round effort. The chase was comfortable for India despite losing Rohit Sharma cheaply for the second time in the series. Kumar gave perfect start to India by removing the opening duo of Martin Guptill (11) and Colin Munro (10) quickly. Munro, who hit a towering six during his brief stay, was the next to depart as Kumar went through his defence.
