During the first ODI between India and New Zealand, Virat Kohli celebrated Glenn Phillips' dismissal with a snake charmer gesture. Phillips was out for 19, caught by Shreyas Iyer off Kuldeep Yadav's bowling. The celebration, which went viral, appeared to acknowledge Iyer's stable catch despite the ball's movement. New Zealand lost wickets steadily after a good start, with Daryl Mitchell scoring a half-century, but struggled to build partnerships. Harshit Rana was a key bowler for India.
