Eventually, it was India's No 1 batsman Kohli, who got the job done with ridiculous ease. With India in a spot of bother, he promoted himself at number four and was involved in a match-winning stand with Kohli. Openers Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane, who were not among the runs in the earlier games, fell cheaply once again. Both Dhoni and Kohli looked in good touch. Here, after losing their seventh straight toss on the tour, New Zealand were expectedly put in to bat by India captain Dhoni considering the dew factor.
