Kohli hands jersey to Matt Henry after being bowled for four-ball duck in 4th ODI

Virat Kohli was dismissed for a four-ball duck by Matt Henry in the first over of the fourth One-Day International between New Zealand and India on 2026-11-13. After the match Kohli met Henry and handed him his jersey.

Kohli and Henry were seen talking about the dismissal after the game, with Kohli saying that the conditions did play a role and that the Indian team did not expect the track to change during the second innings after New Zealand put up 333 runs in the first innings. A post shared by BLACKCAPS (@blackcapsnz) captured the exchange between the two players.

Henry opened the innings with an over that removed Rohit Sharma with the very first ball to put India on the backfoot. When Kohli came to the crease, Henry varied his lines to keep the batter uncertain; he started by getting one to swing away from Kohli and drew a false shot. He followed with a delivery that moved back in towards the stumps, then pitched a third ball outside off which Kohli got behind and guided to backward point. That sequence set Kohli up for the final delivery of the over.

Having seen the ball move away earlier in the over, Kohli appeared to prepare for another away-moving delivery, but Henry produced sharp inward movement off the pitch with a length ball. Kohli was caught on the wrong foot and was unable to bring his bat down in time as the ball breached his defence and crashed into the stumps. The dismissal was Kohli's 20th duck in One-Day Internationals.

Henry said that the conditions did play a role in his success, with the win helping him a lot. "Yeah, it's quite funny, isn't it? The wind was so strong and it was keeping things pretty simple, and it's funny when you're actually trying to have a simple game plan. A bit of luck as well. One shot a little bit low there too, so maybe the wind pushed me a bit sideways," said Henry.

"Well, especially with the way the wind was going, I wasn't too worried about the swing. So from ball one it was just about trying to have the strengths and bring the stumps in play, really."

"We knew that there was a small window there with the new ball that you could put the batters under pressure. So just trying to be as simple as possible, obviously, and when it moves sharply like that in the first over, when people are facing first ball, it's pretty tough."

India will be happy that Henry won't be playing the final ODI of the series. He will shift his focus towards the Test series.
