India Lose Home ODI Series to New Zealand Despite Kohli's Century

India lost their first-ever home ODI series to New Zealand, with Virat Kohli scoring a resilient 124 off 108 balls in the final match. Former captain Sunil Gavaskar praised Kohli's adaptability and temperament, highlighting his ability to play according to the situation rather than expectations. However, India's repeated poor starts and lack of substantial support for Kohli, including early wickets of key batters like KL Rahul, contributed to their defeat. Gavaskar urged the team to learn from Kohli's approach to pacing innings in challenging chases.
