India vs New Zealand, 1st ODI, New Zealand tour of India, 2026 - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Jamieson to Kohli, out Caught by Michael Bracewell!! Oh no! The Vadodara crowd are stunned. Just before this ball was bowled a kid was holding a placard about Kohli's hundred. Number 54 will have to wait.. He charges down and is met by a back of a length delivery, not there for the drive, but Kohli thinks he could get it over mid-off, goes through with the drive and gets it high on the bat, the ball was still travelling and Bracewell moves to his right to grab on. Sharp catch! Is there still life left in this game? The partnership is broken and New Zealand will feel another wicket then this game can get close. Nonetheless, a fine knock comes to an end. After being stunned the Vadodara crowd applaud Kohli off the field. Kohli c Michael Bracewell b Jamieson 93(91) [4s-8 6s-1]
