Virat Kohli & Co. have mastered the ODI formula. Such has been the consistency by the No. 1-ranked side that after the ICC Champions Trophy final in June, India have won 12 out of 15 ODIs played. In their own backyard, visiting teams are dreading to face an in-form young Indian unit. After taming world champions Australia 4-1 in the ODI series recently, Kane Williamson-led New Zealand are next in line to face India in a three-match ODI series, that gets underway at the Wankhede Stadium on October 22.
