All The Records Broken and Created by Virat and Dhoni in Mohali

Kohli now stands fourth in the list of all-time scorers of centuries in ODIs.

India beat New Zealand by seven wickets in the third One-day International at Mohali to take a 2-1 lead in the five match series.

Opting to bowl first, India managed to get New Zealand all out for 285 in 49.4 overs and then chased down the target with 10 balls - courtesy the big hitting of MS Dhoni(80) and Virat Kohli(154*)
