Top 3 run-getters of NZ vs IND ODI Series 2026

India wrapped up the five-match ODI series against New Zealand with a 3-1 margin, winning the first, second and fifth games while the third was washed out. The tour had already seen India claim the T20I series 3-2 before the ODIs got under way.

Conditions across the series were bowler-friendly, with the ball swinging and seaming throughout. Despite that, a handful of batters managed to stand out and accumulate meaningful runs over the four completed matches.

3. Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli ended the series as the third-highest run-getter with 86 runs in four innings. The former India captain was at his most fluent in the 1st ODI, scoring 74 off 51 balls at a series strike rate of 124.64. However, his returns across the remaining three matches — ODIs 7, 0 and 5 — amounted to just 12 runs in total, meaning his series aggregate was heavily weighted on that opening effort.
