India vs New Zealand, 1st ODI highlights: Dhawan 26th fifty gives Kohli's side eight-wicket win in Napier

New Zealand won the toss and chose to bat but they got off to a disastrous start with Mohammed Shami getting rid of Martin Guptill and Colin Munro cheaply. Ross Taylor tried to steady the innings but Yuzvendra Chahal got his wicket. Kane Williamson held firm and scored his 36th fifty but wickets kept tumbling at the other end. Kuldeep Yadav polished off the lower order and finished with figures of 4/39 as New Zealand were bundled out for 157 in Napier. Chasing 158, India lost Rohit Sharma cheaply but the match was halted for a bizzare reason due to sunlight getting directly in the eyes of the batsman. India were left a target of 156 to chase in 49 overs and Shikhar Dhawan blasted 75*, his 26th fifty in ODIs and Kohli hit an aggressive 45 as India sealed a eight-wicket win over New Zealand to take a 1-0 lead in the series.
