Going into the ODI series against New Zealand, India were clear favourites. Virat Kohli & Co. looked the superior team in the major departments - batting and bowling. Form was also on India's side after having beaten the Aussies 4-1 at home just a few days ago. All that changed though, following a convincing and surprising victory by the visitors in Mumbai on Sunday. Kohli's men find themselves in a must-win situation here going into the second ODI today.
