Virat Kohli scored only 11 runs in India’s final group stage match of the Champions Trophy against New Zealand on Sunday, following his century against Pakistan a week ago.
Glenn Phillips took a spectacular one-handed flying catch at point to dismiss Kohli, who was aiming to maintain his impressive form after achieving his 51st ODI hundred in the previous match.

The Dubai International Cricket Stadium fell silent as Phillips completed the catch. Kohli had no choice but to return to the pavilion after his dismissal.
The match marks a milestone for Kohli as he completed 300 ODIs for India. His unbeaten century against Pakistan in Dubai elevated him to fifth position in the ICC ODI rankings, making him the third player to go past 14,000 runs in 50-over cricket.
Having surpassed Ricky Ponting in the all-time run charts, Kohli now needs 138 runs to overtake Kumar Sangakkara for second place. He trails Sachin Tendulkar, the current record holder, by 4,330 runs.
In his 300 ODI appearances, Kohli has accumulated 14,096 runs with an average of 58.01 and a strike rate of 93.40. His record includes 51 centuries and 73 fifties, with his highest score being 183.
