Kohli answered his critics in fine style in the series opener, bouncing back from a golden duck in his previous outing to score 74 runs off 51 balls. The innings also brought up the 80th half-century of his ODI career.
That knock was especially welcome because his form had dipped after a spectacular start to the home series against West Indies last month. He opened that series with an unbeaten 139, but then managed only 29 and 0 in the following two matches.
A run of steady scores in New Zealand would give the team management some much-needed assurance, and Kohli the rhythm he wants before the 2027 World Cup.
