‘Watching Virat Kohli master the chase with remarkable consistency is becoming a routine for us.’<\/strong><\/p>\n

India secured its first victory<\/strong> against New Zealand in an ICC ODI event in 20 years on Sunday, October 22, 2023.<\/p>\n

The World Cup 2023 game in Dharamsala match was tinged with disappointment for Virat Kohli who narrowly missed his 49th ODI century, being dismissed for 95.<\/p>\n

Matt Henry took his wicket in the fourth delivery of the 48th over when India required only five runs for victory.<\/p>\n

Kohli fell while attempting a glorious shot that would have granted him another century, but he still leads the tournament’s batting charts with an impressive 340 runs.<\/p>\n

Following his near-century, Kohli’s wife, actor Anushka Sharma, expressed her pride on Instagram stories with a heartfelt message: ‘Always proud of you’.<\/p>\n

‘Great win. King Kohli did it in style, but it was an outstanding spell from Shami that limited NZ to 273. It was a closely contested match and a wonderful victory for us’, noted Virendra Sehwag.<\/p>\n

‘Five wins out of five for #TeamIndia. An outstanding spell from @MdShami11 ensured India had to chase only 274, which could have been much higher,’ V V S Laxman said after the match. ‘Watching Virat Kohli master the chase with remarkable consistency is becoming a routine for us. Jadeja displayed great composure too.’<\/p>\n

‘Though we didn’t witness @imVkohli finish in his trademark style today, it was a beautiful innings to watch,’ noted Suresh Raina. ‘He played a crucial role in today’s match and is truly a legendary figure.’<\/p>\n

‘In a documentary several years ago, I mentioned that I believed Kohli often sought perfection in his game,’ recalled Harsha Bhogle. ‘As I watched the match today, I found myself captivated by Kohli’s quest for perfection.’<\/p>\n
