After losing a close match in 2nd ODI at Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium which was also India's first defeat at the hands of New Zealand after 13 years!!.
India came back strongly against New Zealand in 3rd ODI with Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni guiding India to Seven-Wicket Win in Mohali with now India leading in the 5-Match series with 2-1.
Virat Kohli smashed his 26th century scoring 154 Runs (Not Out) along with Mahendra Singh Dhoni with 80 Runs made it a strong base & later supported at end by Manish pandey with entertaining 28* runs, thus cruising to the victory
Virat Kohli's 154* was also the highest individual scorer in Mohali
Virat Kohli also reached 4th position surpassing Kumar Sangakkara (Srilanka) in most centuries in ODI & just 2 centuries away of Sri -Lankan great Sanath Jayasuriya's tally of 28 hundreds who is in 3rd position
Mahendra Singh Dhoni's 80 knock helped greatly to secure India's Victory
He also became the 5th Indian & 3rd wicket-keeper in the world to cross 9000+ runs in ODI
Complimenting it he also surpassed Sachin Tendulkar as the Indian player with most sixes (196) in ODIs.
Earlier in the day, After losing the toss & set to bat New Zealand in a batting pitch where it was assumed will be an high-scoring drama match managed a competitive total of 285 despite a batting collapse, that saw them lose five wickets for just 27 runs, but owed mainly to Jimmy Neesham superlative knock of 57.
Even at end, when it was assumed NZ will wrap up it's turn below 220, when it was 199/8 Neesham and Henry not only revived the NZ innings but also went on an "All out assault" in the slog overs helping reach an respectful score
In mid order some players such as Ross Taylor (44 runs) & Tom Latham's sixth fifty (61 runs) too contributed to the score
