The imperious Virat Kohli helped India stay perfect at the Cricket World Cup with a four-wicket victory over New Zealand, but he did miss out on a historic century worldcup
Hosts India were set 274 for victory in Dharamshala after Daryl Mitchell struck a wonderful 130 for the Black Caps, who had also won their opening four group-stage fixtures worldcup
New Zealand’s unbeaten start was ended, though, with Kohli leading the charge with a superb 95, but he was dismissed with only five more runs required for victory and his 49th ODI hundred, which would have drawn him level with Indian great Sachin Tendulkar worldcup
After India won the toss, New Zealand were put into bat first and Mitchell helped them recover from 19 for two with a 161-run partnership for the third wicket with Rachin Ravindra worldcup
Mohammed Shami dismissed Ravindra for 75 and would later account for Mitchell on his way to five for 54, but only after the Black Caps middle-order batter plundered five maximums in his scintillating knock to help his nation reach 273 all out from their 50 overs worldcup
India captain Rohit Sharma led from the front in reply, hitting 46 and putting on 71 with Shubman Gill before it turned into the Kohli show worldcup
Kohli marshalled India’s chase expertly with half-century stands with Shreyas Iyer (33) and KL Rahul (27) before Ravindra Jadeja walked out with the home side on 191 for five worldcup

Yet a six over cow corner off Trent Boult and a four two balls later suddenly put Kohli into the nineties, but he failed equal Tendulkar’s tally of 49 ODI centuries worldcup
Kohli’s attempted big shot in Matt Henry’s next over picked out Glenn Phillips, but the silenced partisan home crowd were back celebrating when Jadeja pulled for four to clinch a fifth straight victory worldcup

In the wake of England’s late defeat to South Africa on Saturday, Courtney Lawes made his way around the Stade de France thanking the crowd, taking in their applause and appreciation as he walked and talked with his four kids worldcup
If Lawes looked like a man saying his goodbye to the Rugby World Cup, it’s because he was worldcup
“I think it’s time,” he later confirmed, bringing down the curtain on a superb international career worldcup
But while the 34-year-old may have been the first to confirm the news, he won’t be last worldcup
The average age of England’s starting XV in their semi-final clash against the Springboks was 29 and as a new cycle begins in the coming months, Steve Borthwick will need to evolve his squad to begin the build towards Australia in 2027 worldcup
Let’s take a look at what that means for some of the players in Borthwick’s England squad:RecommendedWhy England will come back ‘stronger’ from Rugby World Cup heartacheCourtney Lawes to retire from England duty after World Cup: ‘It’s time’World Rugby investigating alleged racist abuse directed at England’s Tom CurryFrance was their ‘Last Dance’Joe Marler, 33 - Used mainly off the bench this tournament but started in the semi-final and scrummaged excellently against the Springboks worldcup
Will no doubt be a big voice to replace in the dressing room when he eventually departs worldcup
Dan Cole, 36 - Brought back into the fold for this tournament after an excellent season at Leicester with Borthwick worldcup
Rolled back the years in France but hard to imagine a similar recall for Australia in 2027 worldcup
Danny Care, 36 - Impacted games often off the bench and finally got the World Cup experience that had so often evaded him worldcup
Superb late score and try-saving tackle against Samoa to save England’s blushes in the pool stage worldcup
Care scored his first World Cup try against Samoa (Getty Images)Ben Youngs, 34 - England’s most-capped player but made just two subs appearances in the tournament worldcup
A decorated player but Alex Mitchell’s composed displays at scrum-half have pushed him above the the Leicester veteran in the pecking order worldcup
Jonny May, 33 - Blistering pace in his prime and a solid tournament coming in late to replace Anthony Watson but the upcoming Ollie Hassell-Collins and Henry Arundell will be just two after his place in the coming years worldcup
May came in as a late replacement but performed well (REUTERS)Mainstays ahead of 2027 Owen Farrell, 31 - Silenced many doubters with two talismanic performances against Fiji and South Africa worldcup
Supreme physical condition and will be eyeing up a Johnny Sexton-esque swansong at the next World Cup worldcup
Maro Itoje, 28 - Still only 28 and will become one of the most experienced players in the squad alongside Farrell and George Ford in the coming years worldcup
Exciting partnerships are to be built with both Ollie Chessum and George Martin in the engine room and a potential captaincy should Farrell’s not make it to 2027 worldcup
Itoje will be eyeing up his third World Cup in 2027 (PA Wire)Tom Curry, 25 - Closing in on a half-century of caps aged just 25 worldcup
Bounced back superbly from his third-minute red card against Argentina and will be a key cog in Bortwhick’s first full cycle worldcup
Ben Earl, 25 - A coming-of-age tournament for the breakout Saracens back-rower worldcup
All-action displays from the back of the scrum mean he will no doubt be one of the first names on the teamsheet moving forward worldcup
Earl was England’s beakthrough star (Getty Images)Freddie Steward, 22 - Dropped for the quarter-final against Fiji but delivered a commanding display under the high ball against South Africa in the semi-final worldcup
Defensively superb and still only 22, the Leicester full-back should go from strength to strength over the next four years worldcup
Rising stars Theo Dan, 22 - Limited for game time this tournament due to Jamie George’s supreme conditioning worldcup
Still work to be done on his set-piece game but will be hoping to usurp his Saracens team-mate in the coming years worldcup
Bevan Rodd, 23 - Another young front-rower who saw little game time in England’s key games worldcup
Took his try well against Chile but has big boots to fill with the likely departures of Cole and Marler worldcup
Rodd scored against Chile (Getty Images)George Martin, 22 - Made his maiden World Cup start against South Africa with a powerful display in the second row worldcup
Looks like a ready-made replacement for the already departing Lawes worldcup
Ollie Lawrence, 23 - A solid, if slightly unremarkable, tournament for the Bath centre worldcup
Is still surely seen as the long-term successor to Manu Tuilagi in the midfield and will only get worldcup better in the coming years worldcup
Henry Arundell, 20 - A World Cup debut to remember for the pacey winger with five tries against Chile in the pool stage worldcup
Perhaps still work to be done on other facets of his game to fully cope with the demands of Test rugby but an exciting talent to nurture in time for 2027 worldcup
