India achieved a historic victory by successfully chasing a target of 301 runs against New Zealand in the first ODI, winning by four wickets. Virat Kohli's 93 and Shubman Gill's 56 were pivotal. This win marks India as the first team globally to achieve 20 successful 300+ run chases in ODIs. Kyle Jamieson's four-wicket haul for New Zealand was notable but insufficient to secure a win.
