Ind vs NZ: Dhoni, Kohli lead India's fightback against New Zealand

 Virat Kohli scored a patient half-century against New Zealand after India lost Suresh Raina on the second day of the second Test at Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore on Saturday. 

This was Kohli's successive fifty against New Zealand. Kohli held the one end for India as he hit 50 of 100 balls with the help of six boundaries and a lone six. New Zealand pacer Tim Southee struck again to give India another jolt by dismissing Suresh Raina.

Raina added 99 runs with Virat Kohli for the fifth wicket to lead Indian fightback after the loss of top order early on in the innings. Raina and Kohli took India to 168/4 at tea.

Raina and Kohli were batting brilliantly to defy Kiwis attack in the second session of the day. Raina slammed his seventh Test fifty, smashing eight fours and a six to give India a momentum after the early collapse.
