KL Rahul plays the hero's knock for India, carrying the first innings effort with a sensational 112* off 92 deliveries. Having come in during a tricky period, kept his composure and took his time before pressing the accelerator at just the right time. Didn't get too much support from his teammates, but ensures India have something to bowl at after setting a target of 285.
India have been asked to bat first by New Zealand skipper Michael Bracewell in Rajkot, on what promises to be a good batting track on first glance. One change for each team – Nitish Kumar Reddy in for India, and debutant Jayden Lennox for the Blackcaps.
After ending New Zealand's nine-match winning streak, India will aim to seal the series in the second ODI in Rajkot on Wednesday. The visitors put up a solid fight in the first ODI, taking India into the 49th over during the run chase, before KL Rahul steered the game away. However, Shubman Gill and Co. know they relied heavily on luck, as India’s batting faltered at crucial moments, losing wickets at key junctures.
Despite Arshdeep Singh’s omission from the playing XI, India’s bowlers performed well, restricting New Zealand to 300. Yet questions remain over the batting strategy, as the team appeared to struggle after Kohli’s dismissal, with other batters running out of ideas.
The biggest talking point of the first ODI was the imperious form of Kohli. Despite being past 30, he showed no signs of slowing down. Kohli narrowly missed a century in Vadodara.
Apart from Arshdeep’s exclusion, the benching of all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy also raised eyebrows, given his importance to India’s World Cup plans. Washington Sundar, highly rated by the coaching staff, replaced him in the first ODI but sustained an injury, paving the way for Reddy’s return. Meanwhile, Ayush Badoni will have to wait for his international debut.
For New Zealand, the first ODI highlighted both promise and concern. While their top-order got good starts, they fell just short in the chase. Kyle Jamieson impressed with the ball, but the pacers lacked consistent support, and the middle order will need to contribute more in the second ODI to challenge India effectively.
India vs New Zealand 2nd ODI Playing XI:
India XI: Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill(c), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Ravindra Jadeja, KL Rahul(w), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Harshit Rana, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna
New Zealand XI: Devon Conway, Henry Nicholls, Will Young, Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Hay(w), Michael Bracewell(c), Zakary Foulkes, Kristian Clarke, Kyle Jamieson, Jayden Lennox
