Indian skipper was rested for the last two ODIs as well as T20Is against New Zealand so that his hectic workload can be managed in a better way especially keeping the upcoming World Cup in mind, which isn’t too far away.
MS Dhoni, who is nursing a hamstring injury for the past few days, has also missed the last two ODIs. After India’s poor show at Seddon Park, fans went on a meme-spree.
Here are a few of them:

Indeed they missed Kohli too! And about… who said that!
Twitter trends saying it.
Because everyone knows it’s Dhoni who stands there when team collapse. #dhoni #NZvInd pic.twitter.com/b9FvdIyirg— Harsh Popat (@iHarshPopat) 31 January 2019
In the absence of Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni, New Zealand roll India over to win by 8 wickets and win their first game of the ODI series.
