India secured a five-wicket victory over New Zealand in the opening One Day International on Wednesday, with Virat Kohli's 74 runs steering the chase in a rain-affected match.
The contest, played on November 4, 2026, saw interruptions due to weather, but Kohli's composed innings anchored India's successful pursuit of the target.
New Zealand posted a competitive total before rain reduced the overs, and India's batting lineup, led by Kohli, reached the revised target with five wickets in hand.
