New Zealand v India ODI: ANZ International Series v India
Virat Kohli in an ODI v New Zealand

Current Indian captain Virat Kohli might not have played against New Zealand as many times as the others on this list but as far as his record against them is concerned, it is a safe prediction that he will end up having an envious record against the Black Caps. In 11 innings in 9 matches, stretched across three formats of the game, Kohli averages 65.22 against New Zealand and has an equally impressive strike rate of 81.22.

He scored a century against them in his very first game back in 2014, when India toured New Zealand and has continued in the same vein. Till date, Kohli has scored 2 centuries (1 in tests, another in ODIs) and 3 half-centuries against New Zealand but one can safely assume that he is going to plunder more runs against them during the course of his career ahead.
