Top 5 performances from the India vs New Zealand ODI series

#1 Virat Kohli

The Indian skipper scored 2 hundreds in the series

After a poor series against the Aussies, Virat Kohli would have been raring to go against the Blackcaps.

The skipper scored 263 runs in 3 matches, including 2 hundreds in Mumbai and Kanpur respectively. However, his 121 in Mumbai has to be one of his best knocks of all time. Given the energy-sapping conditions and the way Boult was firing on all cylinders, Kohli took it upon himself to help the team reach a respectable score.

He formed crucial partnerships, first with Dinesh Karthik and then with Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the end, dragging the total to 280 when 250 seemed difficult. In Kanpur, he scored another swashbuckling hundred, his 32nd in ODI cricket, as he walloped the New Zealand bowling attack along with Rohit Sharma. In the process, he became the 6th Indian to cross the 9000 run mark in ODI cricket.
