Virat Kohli broke yet another massive record of Sachin Tendulkar during the first ODI against New Zealand at the BCA Stadium in Vadodara.
Virat Kohli added another feather to his already illustrious career, going past Sachin Tendulkar in a rare list during the first ODI against the Stadium at the BCA Stadium in Vadodara. Kohli came at the wicket after the fall of Rohit Sharma and looked in sublime form from the word go. He smoked six boundaries within a span of a few deliveries to show how good a form he’s in. The wicket of Rohit Sharma put some pressure on India in a chase of 200, but Kohli’s fluent innings turned the pendulum back in favour of India.
