India vs New Zealand 2016: 5 Talking Points from the 3rd ODI in Mohali

#1 King Kohli reigns supreme

Kohli and run chases usually end in only one way

Among the most clichéd and inevitable things in life include death, taxes and Kohli leading India in a run-chase. The Delhi batsman was at it once again with an almost nerveless knock. Admittedly, he was reprieved on six by Ross Taylor who dropped a comfortable catch at slip.

But, the manner in which he timed his chase to perfection ended up as the difference between the two sides. Kohli pierced the gaps relentlessly by converting singles to doubles on a regular basis. When Dhoni fell, the 27-year old took over and killed off any hopes that the Kiwis might have had with an unbeaten 154 to secure a seven-wicket triumph for his side.
