Kohli's 31st ODI hundred takes India to 280

In Mumbai's October heat of over 30 degrees and humidity over 70%, on a slow pitch and against a disciplined attack, Virat Kohli decided to practically run through the entirety of his - and almost India's - innings, and scored his 31st ODI hundred, in only his 200th match, to help India to a total of 280. It was arguably more difficult for the bowlers - Colin de Grandhomme had to fight sickness - but Trent Boult led New Zealand's charge with wickets in three different spells to keep pulling India back.

Kohli's perfected the art of making modern ODI centuries. Take your time, run lots of singles and doubles, get to sixty cautiously, then accelerate to 100, and then slog till you get out.

Kohli have 31 already?
just the other day he was a lil impse failing in the west indies..cud not make any runs up in Domonika

Yeah, he will break Tendulkar's record of 49, soon. Especially since India play lots of ODIs, and lots of ODIs at home.
