Henry dismissed Rohit and Kohli for a duck in the penultimate ODI at Bay Oval.
Matt Henry starred with the ball for New Zealand in the fourth ODI against India at Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui on Friday (November 13).
Defending a formidable total of 333, Henry opened the bowling by trapping Rohit Sharma for a golden duck (caught at slip off the first ball), bowling Virat Kohli for a 4-ball duck with a low-staying nip-backer, and pinning stand-in captain Shreyas Iyer LBW off the final delivery to leave the visitors reeling at 0-3.
The right-arm seamer went on to claim career-best ODI figures of 6/27 in 9.4 overs, bundling India out for just 89 in a 244-run victory for the Black Caps.
Speaking after the game, Henry said the Kiwi bowling unit had consistently put India's world-class batting line-up under pressure throughout the series, even when the results had not gone their way.
Alongside his own new-ball spell, Henry highlighted the contributions of Kyle Jamieson (1/12 in 6 overs) and Matthew Fisher (3/31 in 7 overs).
"We were trying to, as a bowling unit, be relentless and the way we've been with the new ball, this whole series has been fantastic," Henry told reporters.
"We've shown that we've been able to take wickets and put India, who are world-class, the best in the world batting line-up, so to be able to put them under pressure and we've done it in the first two games and yes, we've not been on the right side of it but we've showed what we can do and today we managed to do it again.
"Seeing guys like Fish (Matthew Fisher) just come on and grow with that pace and that's been awesome and really exciting for this group and Kyle (Jamieson) just doing what he does as well. He's just outstanding with that new ball so yeah, for everyone it's just been great."
During the post-match press conference, Henry dismissed the suggestions that he has got Rohit and Kohli's number.
"I'm not saying that no way, no mate, they're world class and I've always loved the challenge of playing against them ... they've definitely got the better of me many a times as well.
"Massive wickets for us... the experience they show and the runs they're still scoring and the rate they can score they can take a game away from you very quickly and probably two of the best chasers in ODI cricket," he said.
Henry, who returned to the lineup after recovering from a concussion following his collision with teammate Devon Conway in the pre-series training, expressed his excitement for the upcoming two-Test series against India.
"I'm not going to get too carried away... India have got a strong batting line-up so you don't want to say anything stupid here," the pacer stated.
"But look, it's going to be a really good series and that's something we're really looking forward to we've also got one more game here, the ODIs so that's for us really important to try and level the series and then we can move forward to the Test and it's something we're looking forward to as a group as well."
Henry emphasized that bringing the stumps into play, maintaining tight accuracy, and utilizing the wobble seam with the new ball were critical factors on a surface that offered early movement.
"Obviously it helps when the ball moves like that but you're just trying to bring the stumps in play," he said.
"It's actually just trying to be simple, bowling into the breeze there that probably simplified my plan even more so ironically, you're probably not as attacking as you would usually be and actually inside being simple and accurate out there was effective.
"It moves sharply like that and first ball for most of those guys, it's not easy."
Commenting on the wobble seam, Henry said: "It's been important to me. Days like today when you're at the end where you're not going to get that outswing shape and you can actually go to something, that's effective out there, it's really important. We always talk about adapting to conditions and that was something really important.
"Kyle used it beautifully today as well. He said it was swinging a little bit but then as soon as he saw it seaming around, he went to the wobble seam as well. It's just about trying to go to that place where you can be a threat, that's all you're trying to do
"It's not always going to work for you. The key thing about the wobble seam is actually being accurate and being able to be there for long enough because you don't know which way it's going to go. It's only a positive but you have to be in the right areas for an extended period of time."
Following the match, Kohli shared a special moment with Henry by gifting him a signed India jersey, which the fast bowler acknowledged as a remarkable gesture from a world-class player.
"I obviously asked for his shirt, he's been a world class player, they've played against a lot over the years, just very special he's just such a fantastic guy and just a world-class batter as well so yeah, pretty special, pretty cool."
