IND vs NZ: Kohli powers India to 1st ODI win
On the 5th of June, India secured their first ODI win against New Zealand in Auckland. Young pace bowler Gurnoor Brar led the Indian attack, troubling New Zealand batters with his pace and bounce. Gurnoor, along with Arshdeep Singh, dismissed the Black Caps for a modest 185 in 40.2 overs. India chased down the revised target of 143 in 22.4 overs, with Virat Kohli playing a crucial knock of 74 runs off 51 balls.
The Indian team's pace attack, despite the absence of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Prasidh Krishna, proved to be the key factor in their victory.
