Hours before the start of their fourth T20I match against India, New Zealand were dealt a massive blow. Kiwis, chasing their first win of the series, will be without captain Kane Williamson, thanks to a left shoulder injury. In his absence, Tim Southee will lead the Kiwis.
Williamson, 29, played one of his best T20I knocks -- 95 off 48 balls with the help of eight fours and six sixes -- but failed to help his team beat India at Hamilton on Wednesday.
The right-handed batsman is currently 30 runs behind South Africa's Faf du Plessis (1273 runs) in this list of most runs as captain in T20Is.

Their tails up after a thrilling Super Over win over hosts New Zealand, India would be looking to surge further ahead in their quest for perfection and go 4-0 up in the series.
Hitman Rohit Sharma hit a brilliant unbeaten 15 (including two sixes) in the Super Over as India chased down New Zealand's score of 17 to win the third T20I at Seddon Park and take an unassailable 3-0 lead.
