Mission accomplished for Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli

He's off home to reduce his workload ahead of the World Cup after his side's seven-wicket win in the latest one-day international at Mount Maunganui.

The victory gives them an unassailable 3-nil lead in the series.

The Black Caps were dismissed for 243 in 49 overs - Ross Taylor top-scored with 93.

India cruised to the target with seven overs to spare.

Kohli's reserved praise for his bowlers.



New Zealand last lost three consecutive games in a series at home in 2012 against South Africa.

Jimmy Neesham and Todd Astle come in for Doug Bracewell and Ish Sodhi for the final two games.

The selectors have stuck with the out-of-form opener Colin Munro for now.
