After winning the second ODI against New Zealand, the men in blue were seen in smiles as this was another dominant show from Virat Kohli and Co. A target of 325 wasn't really big, but India were clinical with their bowling.

The fact that a 58-run stand for the ninth wicket between Bracewell and Ferguson was New Zealand's best ever stand in both the ODIs tells how poor they have been with the bat.
