A video shows Virat Kohli returning a plastic bat thrown onto the field during the second ODI. Kohli was dismissed for seven runs in the second ODI. He surpassed Ricky Ponting's record for most ODI runs at a venue during the second ODI.

Kohli helped KL Rahul adjust his kit before the second ODI. New Zealand were dismissed for 134, their lowest all-out total against India at home in ODIs. India reached 113 for seven before rain stopped play.

India won the second ODI by four runs under the DLS method. Gurnoor Brar took 4 for 30 in the match.

CricHubb Take

Kohli's decision to return the bat rather than leave it for ground staff shows an instinctive reaction that contrasts with players who might have ignored the intrusion.
