New Zealand secured their first-ever ODI series victory on Indian soil with a 41-run win in Indore. Daryl Mitchell's 137 and Glenn Phillips' 106 powered the visitors to 337-8, a total India couldn't chase despite Virat Kohli's brilliant 124. The Black Caps' middle-order partnership proved decisive.

India's chase unraveled after Kohli's dismissal, with Zak Foulkes taking two crucial wickets in quick succession. The hosts were bowled out for 296 in 46 overs, handing New Zealand a 2-1 series triumph. This marks a significant milestone for the visitors in a challenging cricketing environment.

This historic win sets up an intriguing five-match T20 series starting January 21st, just weeks before the T20 World Cup. New Zealand's form in Indian conditions will be a key talking point, while India will look to rebound in the shorter format.
