Virat Kohli has revealed the fate of his numerous player of the match and other trophies after his majestic knock against New Zealand.

Virat Kohli delivered a masterful innings in India's thrilling 4-wicket chase against New Zealand in the 1st ODI on January 11, 2026, at Vadodara, which won him the Player of the Match award.

Walking in at 39/1 after Rohit Sharma's dismissal, Kohli anchored the pursuit of 282 with a fluent 93 off 91 balls, featuring eight fours and a six, reaching his 28,000 international runs milestone. He forged a crucial 118-run stand with Shubman Gill (56), shifting to aggressor mode by charging young spinner Kristian Clarke for boundaries down the ground.

Kohli dominated the middle overs, countering New Zealand's pressure with precise shot-making, including a slog-sweep six off Kuldeep Yadav-like pace. His timing exploited the batting-friendly pitch, keeping India's required rate under control despite NZ's fightback led by Kyle Jamieson.

Dismissed seven runs short of his 85th ODI ton, caught off Jamieson, but he was adjudged as the POTM. While talking at the post-match presentation, Kohli revealed that he has no idea about the number of awards he has won in his career.

"Honestly I have no idea," Kohli said.

The India stalwart then revealed his ritual with the mementos as he confirmed he sends it to his mother.

"I just send the trophies back home to my mum in Gurgaon - she loves keeping them," he added.

Kohli's exit sparked a collapse, but his platform enabled KL Rahul (29*) and others to seal victory at 306/6. Named Player of the Match, Kohli's knock blended patience and power, embodying his chase-mastery.
