The Black Caps then bowled out India for 296 in 46 overs despite Kohli’s 54th ODI century and clinched the three-match series 2-1. New Zealand had lost all seven of their previous ODI series in India, a run dating back to 1988. New Zealand left-arm spinner Jayden Lennox returned figures of 2-42 from his 10 overs after Bracewell left the field with a calf injury and did not return. Mitchell reached his ninth ODI ton with a single off Ravindra Jadeja before Phillips also brought up his hundred. The teams next play five T20 matches in a final tune-up for the T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka between February 7 and March 8.
