Ind vs NZ 1st ODI, India vs New Zealand 1st ODI Highlights: Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli did the labouring part of the simple run chase with Ambati Rayudu getting the team past the winning line. Chasing 157 runs for the win, Dhawan top-scored with 75 runs to alleviate pressure on himself after a streak of poor scores. Kohli had earlier been dismissed for 45 runs.

Half the job was done by the bowlers with Kuldeep Yadav taking four wickets, Mohammed Shami three wickets and Yuzvendra Chahal two wickets. But it was Shami’s two early wickets that put the pressure on the Kiwi batting which didn’t allow them to recover. He added one more before Chahal added to the troubles.
