The Indian team was in trouble during the game against New Zealand, with the top three batters already back in the pavilion in the powerplay. One of the most iconic dismissals was of India legend Virat Kohl,i who got caught due to a magnificent one-handed catch by Glenn Philips, which stunned the fans.

This was the biggest shock of the game as Virat executed a well-timed cut shot only to find Glen Philips at point taking a stunner at point while diving to his right. The New Zealand star all-rounder made the grab look so easy and this was one of the biggest wickets in the game since he was just coming back from a century against Pakistan and was now dismissed by Matt Henry on just 1,1 which he scored off 14 deliveries.

Virat’s wife and famous Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma was also present during the game and gave a stunned and disappointed reaction to the dismissal of her husband who just scored a century in the last match he played against Pakistan. All Anushka could do is put her hand on her head and give a bit of an awkward smile looking at the turn of events that led to the dismissal of Virat Kohli in his 300th ODI.

Kohli’s last encounter with the Kiwis in ICC event

The last ICC tournament the two sides faced each other was in the 2023 ODI World Cup semi-final in Wankhede which was a dream tournament for Virat Kohli who brought up his record 50th ODI ton during the match which helped India reach a huge total of 397 in the end.

Virat had scored 117 off 113 deliveries which included nine fours and two sixes and had a strike rate of 103.54. Speaking of the match India went on to win the game by 70 runs and made it to the finals against Australia at Ahmedabad where they unfortunately suffered defeat and missed out on their third ODI World Cup title.
