In the first One-Day International (ODI) match against New Zealand, Team India's stalwart Virat Kohli played a knock of 93 runs off 91 deliveries, which was laced with eight boundaries and a maximum

With this, the right-handed batsman has scored a total of 1091 runs in 300-plus successful chases in ODIs, which include seven centuries and two half-centuries

He carried his incredible form from Australia into the ODIs, scoring his fifth consecutive 50+ score. This is the fifth time he has achieved this impressive feat. Kohli's consistency is unmatched, and he's now the only batsman to have achieved this milestone five times in ODI cricket

The 37-year-old cricketer registered a fifty against Australia in the third ODI in October 2025, while he slammed two hundreds and a fifty against South Africa two months later

On Sunday, riding on Kohli's blistering knock, the "Men in Blue" secured a victory by four wickets against the "Black Caps"
