And Kohli is the first man to accept it, as he paid tribute to the New Zealand pacer with a fine gesture. Kohli was dismissed for a four-ball duck in the first over by Henry as the Indian star was cleaned up by a ripper. The Indian star met with the New Zealand pacer and handed him his jersey after the match was done.NZ vs IND 4th ODI: HIGHLIGHTS | SCORECARDKohli and Henry were seen talking about the dismissal, with the former saying that the conditions did play a role in the dismissal. Kohli can be heard saying that the Indian team didn't expect the track to change during the second innings after New Zealand put up 333 runs in the first innings.HOW DID HENRY DISMISS KOHLI?It was a sensational first over from Henry as he dismissed Rohit Sharma with the very first ball to put India on the backfoot. The moment Kohli came out to bat, Henry mixed his lines cleverly to keep the Indiann star guessing. He began by getting one to swing away from the Indian batter, drawing a false shot before following it up with a delivery that came back in towards the stumps. The third ball was pitched outside off again, allowing Kohli to get behind it and guide it towards backward point. But Henry had set up the Indian star for what came next.Having seen the ball move away on multiple occasions, Kohli was seemingly prepared for another delivery going in that direction. Instead, Henry produced a sharp inward movement off the pitch with a length delivery. Kohli was caught on the wrong foot, unable to bring his bat down in time as the ball breached his defence and crashed into the stumps. This was Kohli's 20th duck in ODIs. 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, as he will shift his focus towards the Test series.- Ends
