Shami rattled the Black Caps with 7 wicket haul to hand India their straight 10th victory in the ongoing World Cup. 

Watch Highlights: Mohd Shami takes 7 as India reach Cricket World Cup final after Kohli's record 50th ODI century

Watch Highlights: Mohd Shami takes 7 as India reach World Cup final after Kohli's record 50th ODI century

<h2>Shami rattled the Black Caps with 7 wicket haul to hand India their straight 10th victory in the ongoing World Cup.&nbsp;</h2>

A record-breaking performance by Virat Kohli and Mohd Shami helped India successfully seek revenge for the bitter loss in the 2019 World Cup semifinal as they marched into the 4th ODI World Cup final with a thumping 70-run win against New Zealand at Wankhede.&nbsp;
After winning the toss, Rohit Sharma's aggressive start provided the foundation for India's success. With Kohli's stellar 117 off 113 balls that helped him go past Sachin Tendulkar's 49-ODI centuries, Shubman Gill's 80, laced with 8 4s and 3 6s and Shreyas Iyer's special 70-ball 105, India set an imposing target of 398.
Later, Shami got rid of dangerous openers Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra early in the innings, but the Kiwis showed intent with a crucial 181-run stand between captain Kane Williamson (69) and centurion Daryl Mitchell. India needed a wicket to break the duo's momentum and incredible Shami came to rescue the team from the precarious situation with 2 wickets in the 33rd over. He ousted Williamson and Tom Latham in the same over which also saw him complete 50 wickets in the World Cup. From thereon, he alongside Kuldeep Yadav rattled the dispirited Black Caps who lost wickets in quick succession. The pacer picked 3 more wickets to complete his 7 wicket haul and also hand India their straight 10th victory in the ongoing World Cup.&nbsp;

Virat Kohli's lean patch with the bat has been the talk of the town for 3 years, the time since he last scored an international hundred.
Despite a lot of cricket pundits analysing what was going wrong with Indian cricket's biggest superstar, Virat and many Indian cricketers often called it outside noise and felt that Kohli was just 1 good knock away from finding his mojo back. 
But the wait seemed never-ending. King Kohli took some time off cricket and is now gearing up to make an international return after a month. During a chat with the BCCI, Virat admitted that the break helped him realise that he was trying to fake his intensity a bit.
Virat also opened up about his mental health and accepted that he was feeling 'mentally down' due to the lean patch.

Rohit Sharma was making his captaincy debut in Tests but all eyes were on Virat Kohli as Team India took on Sri Lanka in the 1st Test in Mohali. 
The morning began with a special felicitation ceremony of the former India captain, who was joined by his wife Anushka Sharma. As India opted to bat first, Virat had to walk out earlier than he would liked to as India was 2 down for 80. Though Kohli hasn't scored an international hundred in over 2 years but hasn't looked out of form in any of his knocks. The 1st innings of the Mohali Test were no different. Virat dominated the bowlers from the word go and looked good for a big score.
He soon completed 8000 runs in Test cricket and became only the 6th Indian batter to achieve that feat.
But against the run of play, Virat was cleaned up by spinner Lasith Embuldeniya for 45. He though has one more innings to go before the completion of his 100th Test.

Virat Kohli's wait for his 71st international ton may be getting longer but he still holds the record for the 3rd-most tons in international cricket. As the former India skipper plays his 100th Test in Mohali, let's take a look at his 5 most memorable tons in Test cricket.
169 vs Australia (Melbourne, 2014)
It was the summer of 2014 in Australia and Virat Kohli made the Melbourne crowd sit up and take notice of him. With India already 2-0 down in the series, the Aussies posted 530 in the 1st innings. Kohli walked in at the number 4 spot and smashed 169 off 272 balls. The 'Virat' effort helped India draw the Test.
153 vs South Africa (Centurion, 2018)
The year was 2018 and Team India was determined to justify their claim of being the best travelling side in the world. It all started with the series in South Africa. In reply to the 335 by Proteas in the 1st innings of the Centurion Test, Virat stood tall with a 217-ball-153. He was the one-man army in that game but India couldn't save the Test due to a batting failure in the 2nd innings.
103 vs England (Nottinghum, 2018)
Most experts had written Kohli off after a nightmare tour to England in 2014. But a different Virat returned to England 4 years later and this time he finished as the highest run-getter of the series with 593 runs in 5 Tests. The highlight of the tour was the Nottingham Test. After a gritty 97 in the first innings, Virat backed it up with 103 in the second. His super show helped India win the Test and bounce back in the series.
254* vs South Africa (Pune, 2019)
Kohli followed up his brilliant form against South Africa in the home Test series the very next year. This time he smashed an unbeaten 254 in the Pune Test. It still remains the highest score by an Indian captain. Interestingly, the top 3 scores on that list belong to the superstar from Delhi. His 7th double hundred in whites helped India win the game by an innings and 137 runs.
Two back-to-back double tons vs Sri Lanka (2017)
Virat didn't have any double ton in his career till 2016 but in the next 3 years, he had 7. Two of which were scored in back-to-back Tests vs Sri Lanka in 2017. 213 in Nagpur and 243 in Delhi. No other captain in the history of Test cricket has scored as many double tons as Virat.

Virat&nbsp;shocked the cricketing world when he stepped down as the captain of India's Test side on Saturday.&nbsp;

As Virat Kohli thanked his captain, MS Dhoni,&nbsp;in his long note while announcing that he is done with leading Team India for good, one can't help but draw some parallels between the two men. The two of them had different journeys in domestic and international cricket but both ascended to the throne and led Team India admirably. While Dhoni ensured that Team India won two world titles and a number of ICC trophies, King Kohli taught the team to become the best travelling side in the world.
Dhoni ensured supremacy in white-ball cricket, then Virat Kohli took the Test team to greater heights. The continuity in leadership during the transition from Dhoni to Kohli was an example for possibly all international teams. Most teams would struggle in that period. However, Team India continued to play as if nothing had happened. As the student became the master when Virat took over, Dhoni became the guiding light for Team India till he retired.
Whenever Virat spoke about MS, the young captain always had nothing but gratitude for the veteran leader and always considered him the best captain India ever had. Unlike Dhoni, Virat possibly never tasted much success in white-ball cricket, neither in IPL but when it came to Test cricket, Virat was in a different league. Just like his guru, Virat's retirement comes out of the blue, leaving cricket pundits and fans shocked.
Between Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni, Team India broke many shackles, shattered many records, set new standards and buried a lot of egos, along with dominating international cricket. From 2007, when MSD led Team India for the first time in Durban at the inaugural World T20 till Virat's last stint as skipper in Cape Town in 2022, this has definitely been a golden era that will be extremely hard to match.

After the sudden announcement by Virat Kohli about his decision to relinquish Test captaincy, who will succeed him as the leader in Test cricket?&nbsp; There are plenty of options for the selectors and BCCI to look at such as Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Jasprit Bumrah but former captain Sunil Gavaskar has a slightly radical opinion.
Speaking to India Today, Gavaskar named Rishabh Pant as his choice to lead Team India in Test cricket. Rohit Sharma might be the white ball skipper and KL Rahul might have tasted some Test Captaincy, but Gavaskar feels that Pant is the right choice. The former captain feels that the selectors should look at an individual who is an automatic pick in the team and currently Rishabh Pant ticks those boxes.
While Rohit Sharma's fitness is already under the scanner, KL Rahul's performance as a captain in South Africa was far from dependable. Pant who recently led his Indian Premier League side Delhi Capitals to the playoffs is raw in his approach but could end up being a front runner in the captaincy race.

Virat Kohli stunned the world and announced his decision to step down from his post as Test captain of Team India. Let's take a look at 5 moments of sheer brilliance under his reign, that will definitely go down in history.
1. When Team India won the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the first time in Australia
After 71 years, 31 series and 98 Test matches, Team India, led by a very capable Virat Kohli, destroyed the pride of the Kangaroos by defeating them in their own backyard. The men in blue triumphantly lifted the Border Gavaskar Trophy for the first time, winning the four-match Test series 2-1.
2. Journey to the finals in the World Test Championship
After defeating strong teams like Australia, England, West Indies, the Indian team paved its way to the final of the first edition of the World Test Championship. While the team missed the title and had to face defeat at the hands of New Zealand, the journey to the final was a nail-biting affair, to say the least.
3.Journey to the semi-finals in the 2019 World Cup
In the 2019 ODI World Cup played in England, under the leadership of Captain Kohli, Team India made its way to the semi-finals. The Indian team cemented its place in the final four by beating strong contenders like South Africa, Australia and Pakistan. However, in the semi-finals, the team had to face defeat at the hands of New Zealand. Kohli not only captained the team but also made a significant contribution with his bat by scoring a staggering 443 runs in 9 matches during the tournament.
4. Team India dominated bilateral T20 series
India created history under the captaincy of Kohli in T20 cricket. The men in blue ensured that they won the T20 series against strong teams like South Africa, New Zealand, England and Australia in their own backyards over the years. 
5. #1 side in Test Cricket for 42 months
