#2 - 80 (91) at Mohali, 23rd October 2016
In 2016, India hosted New Zealand for a 5-match ODI series. The series was all square at 1-1 as both the teams headed into the 3rd ODI at Mohali. Batting first, New Zealand put on a huge total of 285 on the board and set a target of 286 for the hosts.
India lost both their openers early as Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni took the center stage in the innings. The star Indian batsmen stitched a 151-run partnership for the 3rd wicket before MS Dhoni was dismissed by Matt Henry. However, the damage was already done by then as India won the match quite comfortably by 7 wickets in hand.
Dhoni's vital innings of 80 runs included 6 fours and 3 sixes as the Indian skipper made an emphatic return to form.
