    "editor1": "<p><strong>Hamilton, Feb 5:&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;Virat Kohli conceded that his counterpart Tom Latham&#39;s blistering knock took the game away from them as New Zealand registered a four-wicket victory against India in the first ODI at Seddon Park on Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Stand-in captain Latham hit a 48-ball 69 and shared a crucial 138-run stand with Ross Taylor who was unbeaten on 109 to win the match for the Black Caps.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;An outstanding performance from New Zealand. We thought 347 was good enough, especially after the start we got with the ball. I think Tom&#39;s innings took the game away from us. Ross and Tom were unstoppable in the middle overs,&quot; Kohli said after the match.<br \/>\r\nIndia rode Shreyas Iyer&#39;s 103 and half centuries from KL Rahul (88) and Kohli (51) to put up 347\/4. In the end, New Zealand got to 348\/6 in 48.1 overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India missed a chance to get rid of Taylor after Kuldeep Yadav dropped a tough chance. Asked about their fielding, Kohli said: &quot;We were decent in the field, we dropped one chance. We need to improve though. We can&#39;t think about that one chance. To bat with a positive frame of mind for about 25 overs after that chance is not a small thing at all.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I got to say that the opposition played better than us and deserved to win today. Both new openers gave us a good start, hope they continue to do the same. Shreyas&#39;s hundred was outstanding and KL was brilliant with the bat too,&quot; Kohli added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The two teams will now face off in the second ODI at the Eden Park on Saturday.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
