The long-anticipated clash between India and New Zealand has finally come to an end, and India emerged victorious with flying colours. Team India won the toss and elected to bowl first, effectively limiting New Zealand to a below-average total of 273. This remarkable feat was achieved primarily due to the brilliant performance of Mohd Shami, who made a triumphant return to the World Cup by taking a five-wicket haul.
Indian batsmen launched the run chase spectacularly, but both openers fell shortly after the conclusion of the first powerplay. After the dismissal of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, the chase master, stepped in and orchestrated India’s fabulous victory. Kohli delivered a brilliant innings, scoring 95 runs, only to be dismissed while attempting to reach his century and seal the game simultaneously.

Indian Cricket Fans Rejoice as Virat Kohli Shines and Records Tumble!
Ravindra Jadeja, who was at the crease at the time of Kohli’s dismissal, efficiently finished the game for India just two balls later. Although Virat Kohli narrowly missed his 49th ODI hundred and the chance to equal his idol Sachin Tendulkar’s record of the most ODI hundreds, he did achieve another milestone by surpassing the record of the master blaster: Most fifty-plus scores for India in wins. Virat Kohli now stands at 137*, surpassing Sachin Tendulkar’s 136.
Fans of Virat Kohli throughout the country, who were disappointed that he couldn’t reach the much-anticipated milestone of 49 ODI hundreds, are now elated to learn that he holds the record for the most fifty-plus scores in Indian victories. This accomplishment solidifies his status as the best chaser of all time, a fact that was never in doubt, but now he has a record to showcase his brilliance.
Fans also found solace in the realization that in a World Cup, Indian players scoring in the 90s are often more critical and beneficial for the team than big centuries. This is a concept rooted in the memorable 2011 final, where both of India’s match-winners, Gautam Gambhirand MS Dhoni, scored in the 90s, ultimately leading India to World Cup victory.
