Exactly a year ago, on this date (29th October), team India had defeated New Zealand in Visakhapatnam to win the bilateral series by a margin of 3-2.<\/h2>\n
\n

Incidentally, India went on to repeat the same feat on Sunday in Kanpur when they defeated the same opposition but not without a slew of records getting<\/p>\n

tumbled and newer ones finding their mention in history books. Herein we take a look at some of the records that were scripted on a super Sunday at the Green<\/p>\n

Park stadium.<\/p>\n

On a day when Indian skipper Virat Kohli brought up his 32nd ODI century, the Indian team made the occasion a moment to cherish by defeating New Zealand<\/p>\n

by six runs in the 3rd and final ODI. This win saw India register not only their seventh consecutive bilateral series win but also skipper Kohli\u2019s seventh<\/p>\n

successive series victory. This is also the most by any Indian captain.<\/p>\n

As far as personal milestones are concerned, the day belonged to captain Kohli who not only registered his 32nd ODI hundred but also became the fastest to<\/p>\n

reach 9000 ODI runs. He is also the fastest to reach 5000 runs as a captain. As a skipper, Kohli now has 10 ODI centuries, 10 ODI fifties and 10 Test hundreds.<\/p>\n

In this calendar year, Kohli has also registered the most runs by a captain and also has also hit the most numbers of hundreds as a skipper in a year. In the<\/p>\n

series against New Zealand, Virat Kohli scored 263 runs which is the most by any Indian in a 3 match ODI series.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, after a commendable performance in the death overs and picking up three wickets in the match Jasprit Bumrah became the second fastest Indian to<\/p>\n

take 50 wickets in ODIs. The fastest to reach the milestone is former India fast bowler, Ajit Agarkar.\u00a0 Mohammad Shami, Irfan Pathan and Amit Mishra follow<\/p>\n

thereafter. However, it was a day to forget for fellow Indian pacer, Bhuvneshwar Kumar who become the first Indian bowler to concede more than 85 runs twice<\/p>\n

in ODI cricket history.<\/p>\n

With the ODI series in the bag, India will now face New Zealand in a three-match T20 series which begins with the first match in Delhi. Interestingly, while New<\/p>\n

Zealand has never managed to win a series in India, the men in blue have also not been able to defeat New Zealand in T2o internationals till date.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
