Virat Kohli has arrived in Vadodara, Gujarat, to a large fan reception ahead of the first ODI against New Zealand, scheduled to begin on January 11. The star batter is in strong limited-overs form, recently scoring centuries in the Vijay Hazare Trophy and ending 2025 as India's leading ODI run-getter. Kohli aims to continue this performance against New Zealand in the upcoming three-match series.
