Virat Kohli celebrated a monumental achievement, becoming the first to score 13,000 runs while batting at No. 3 in ODIs during India's opening match against New Zealand at Eden Park. With a striking career average of 61.61, Kohli's performance was stellar. India excelled overall, bowling New Zealand out for a mere 185 runs and Kohli further impressed with an outstanding catch.

In his second ODI appearance, Anshul Kamboj delivered an impressive performance by securing two wickets for just 22 runs. The Indian bowling unit functioned impeccably, restricting New Zealand to a modest total of 185 runs in Auckland. Contributing significantly, Arshdeep Singh and Gurnoor Brar took four and three wickets, respectively. Kamboj's economical bowling sets a new standard for Indian pacers in ODIs, highlighting a strong collective effort by the team.

Suresh Raina is keen on joining the Chennai Super Kings coaching team and has reached out to the franchise regarding a potential position. He believes his vast experience could be pivotal in mentoring younger players to handle competitive pressure effectively. With significant changes underway in CSK's coaching lineup ahead of the IPL season, Raina hopes to play a role in sustaining the team's legacy and success.
