151 – India vs New Zealand – 23rd October 2016, Mohali – 5-match ODI series
The Indians were caught off-guard when the Kiwis defended 242 in New Delhi to level the series at 1 game apiece. The teams travelled to Mohali looking to secure a crucial lead in the series.
Having asked the visitors to have a bat, the Indians were left staring at a daunting total of 286-runs to chase down as a number of the Kiwi batsmen chipped in with opener Tom Latham proving to be the top-scorer.
In what Indians fans will surely hope will become a trend, Dhoni walked out to join Virat Kohli in just the 9th over of the chase with the team at 41 – 2. The duo would stitch together a magical 151 runs with an array of glittering shots to the joy of the watching world.
Virat Kohli was unbeaten again, this time scoring 154 off just 134 deliveries.
