12 Jan
Summary
- Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma playfully tried to exit through a back door.
- Kohli scored 93 in the first ODI against New Zealand.
- Kohli surpassed Kumar Sangakkara to become second-highest scorer.
In a moment of levity following India's victory over New Zealand, cricket legends Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma humorously attempted to use a back door during a felicitation ceremony. The special event, held on Sunday, January 11, at the BCA Stadium in Vadodara, saw the players honored by the Baroda Cricket Association in the presence of BCCI and ICC officials.
During the innings break, Kohli and Sharma were recognized for their significant contributions to Indian cricket, receiving bouquets and signing posters. Their playful attempt to exit a staged bat structure via a back door before ultimately proceeding through the designated red carpet added a memorable, lighthearted touch to the proceedings.
The match itself saw India successfully chase down New Zealand's total of 300/8. Virat Kohli played a pivotal role with a brilliant 93 off 91 balls. His outstanding knock not only set up the win but also propelled him past Kumar Sangakkara to become the second-highest run-scorer in international cricket history, achieving this milestone in fewer innings than Sachin Tendulkar.
