WATCH | Virat Kohli's Heartwarming Gesture Towards Ground Staff After 1st ODI at Vadodara Goes Viral

Ind vs NZ: Virat Kohli was at his sublime best on Sunday as he scored 93 against New Zealand in the 1st ODI at Vadodara. He anchored the chase and that eventually helped the side win. In a way, Kohli just extended his good run of form in 50-over cricket. It was unfortunate that he could not get seven more runs. He was dismissed trying to hit a boundary over mid-off.

Meanwhile, Kohli's good show with the bat also earned him another Player of the Match award. 

"If I look back at my whole journey then it is nothing short of a dream come true for me. I have always known my abilities, but I also knew I had to work extremely hard to get where I am today. God has blessed me with far more than I could ever ask for, I look back at my journey with a lot of grace and gratitude, and I feel really proud of it," Kohli said at the post-match presentation while speaking about becoming the all-time second-highest international run-getter across formats.
