Champions Trophy 2017: India vs New Zealand Warm-Up, 5 talking points

#1 Virat Kohli puts behind IPL form to crack a half-century

Kohli scored a much-needed half-century to put behind his woes in England

Virat Kohli once again master minded a run-chase, albeit a low score of 190, to put aside a horrendous IPL and his woes in England. After having a horrid time in his last tour of England against James Anderson and co., Kohli needed a good warm-up game to get going before the tournament.

Against a disciplined pace attack like the Kiwis, Kohli held his own and looked in sublime touch as he cracked a half-century in a comfortable run-chase by India. New Zealand used as many as five seamers to disrupt the Indian skipper but Kohli was in his zone and appeared to take the warm-up way too seriously for New Zealand's liking.
