Virat Kohli's men have won their last six ODI series. And the Men In Blue ensured that the record remained intact, at least for another four days, by beating the New Zealanders by six wickets at the Maharashtra Cricket Association stadium here to level the three-match ODI series 1-1 yesterday. Facing a must-win situation following the defeat in Mumbai on Sunday, Team India came up with an excellent all-round performance on a slowish track to restrict Kiwis to a modest 230 for nine. Riding on half-centuries from Shikhar Dhawan and Dinesh Karthik, the hosts then chased down the target with minimum fuss to make it a one-sided contest all the way. The series will now be decided in Kanpur on October 29.
