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 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

IND vs NZ Live Score: Phillips smashes SIX!
IND vs NZ Live Score: Glenn Phillips smashes Prasidh Krishna for a maximum on the first ball itself to push him on the backfoot. It's a cakewalk for New Zealand after 11 runs came off the over and now they just need 6 more to win the match. NZ 279/3 in 47 overs
IND vs NZ Live Score: New Zealand 268/3 in 46 overs

IND vs NZ Live Score: Phillips hits four!
IND vs NZ Live Score: Glenn Phillips finds a boundary this time and eight runs came off the over. The match is slipping away from India's reach with every over as they are struggling to find a wicket here and without that it would be impossible for them to bounce back. NZ 252/3 in 44 overs
IND vs NZ Live Score: Daryl Mitchell hits four!
IND vs NZ Live Score: Daryl Mitchell smashes Mohammed Siraj for a boundary as nine runs came off the over. New Zealand need 41 runs off seven overs as momentum is completly in their favour. India desperately need a wicket. NZ 244/3 in 43 overs
IND vs NZ Live Score: Darly hits century!
IND vs NZ Live Score: A well-deserved century for Daryl Mitchell. His 8th ODI century as he has kept things innings together and put his team on top at the moment in chase. He took 96 balls to reach the mark here. NZ 233/3 in 41.1 overs
IND vs NZ Live Score: Tight from Siraj!
IND vs NZ Live Score: Mohammed Siraj tried to keep things tight, but New Zealand still managed to get 5 runs off it. It's less than run a ball now and the pressure is mounting on India to take a couple of wickets to bounce back. NZ 232/3 in 41 overs
IND vs NZ Live Score: Mohammed Siraj back in attack!
IND vs NZ Live Score: Mohammed Siraj back into the attack and he straightaway caused trouble for Mitchell, but he survived courtesy of DRS. However, it turned out to be a good over for New Zealand with nine runs coming off it. NZ 217/3 in 39 overs
IND vs NZ Live Score: Kuldeep removes Young!
IND vs NZ Live Score: Kuldeep Yadav finally breaks the partnership as this time Nitish Kumar Reddy makes no mistake while grabbing the catch of Will Young. A fine innings comes to an end, he goes for 87 and misses out on a century. India need to capitalise on it. NZ 208/3 in 37 overs
IND vs NZ Live Score: DROPPED! Prasidh drops Mitchell, India wasteful in the field!
IND vs NZ Live Score: Two balls, two chances, neither taken! First Ravindra Jadeja has the chance to run Mitchell out but misses – a rarity for him. Next ball, Mitchell skies a sweep shot, and Prasidh gets underneath it but can't get hands to it! That's really poor fielding in a crucial moment.
IND vs NZ Live Score: 98 needed off 90
IND vs NZ Live Score: Looks like cruise control at the moment. 15 overs to play and the Kiwis are in total control. You have to think they should see this through from here.
Mitchell onto 80*, Young on 75*.
IND vs NZ Live Score: Kuldeep Yadav back for another spell from different end – can he find the groove?
IND vs NZ Live Score: 0/41 from his 5 overs. Kuldeep Yadav has been off-colour, but gets a change of ends and will try to make something happen here. Key period of play in this game coming up – whoever wins it wins the game, but the crowd is silent and can't get energy through the team.
IND vs NZ Live Score: 119 needed off 108 – India need to come up with a plan
IND vs NZ Live Score: Quickly slipping away from India here. Both batters beginning to find the empty spaces at will. Almost down to run a ball, and wickets the only thing that will work here. Who can Shubman Gill turn to?
IND vs NZ Live Score: Fifty for Will Young too – threat mounting against India
IND vs NZ Live Score: It has been a great partnership thus far. Slowly keeping the runs flowing. Both batters have reached the fifty and the the stand also nearing triple figures.
151 needed off 132. NZ in the driver's seat?
IND vs NZ Live Score: Kuldeep probing but Mitchell reaches another 50
IND vs NZ Live Score: Mitchell in a really good run of form arm reaches 50 again, but Kuldeep threatening quietly.
160 to get off 140. Tight match.
IND vs NZ Live Score: Will Young gets lucky! Completely deceived by Kuldeep, but falls in no man's land
IND vs NZ Live Score: Beautiful bowling, loop and dip to fool the batter as he plays an ungainly swipe. Straight into the air, but Rohit Sharma from long-off is never quite getting there! Moment of fortune for Will Young.
IND vs NZ Live Score: 109/2 after 23
IND vs NZ Live Score: Kuldeep hasn't quite settled in yet. Will Young pulls out the reverse sweep to beat the ring on the offside. That scoring rate steaily ticking up and asking Gill questions.
IND vs NZ Live Score: Mitchell attacks Kuldeep – 13 off the over
IND vs NZ Live Score: Good batting from Kuldeep. Dances down to hammer Kuldeep high and far over midwicket, before getting down and paddle-sweeping him into vacant fine leg. Quietly turning the knobs.
IND vs NZ Live Score: 20 overs through, Kuldeep finally introduced
IND vs NZ Live Score: India have been able to hang on to Kuldeep Yadav for a good long while. 20 overs through for his introduction. With NZ needing runs, he will like operating now – but with this partnership building, needs to provide a breakthrough too.
IND vs NZ Live Score: Prasidh comes close – Mitchell survives. 79/2 after 19
IND vs NZ Live Score: Prasidh looking close to his best here. Running in hard and making it nip both ways off the seam at pace. Asking questions of Mitchell and Young, but they survive for now.
IND vs NZ Live Score: 64/2 after 15
IND vs NZ Live Score: Spin finally introduced with Jadeja. Young and Mitchell need to start attacking a little bit.
IND vs NZ Live Score: Chopped on! Prasidh gets Nicholls
IND vs NZ Live Score: Nicholls' struggle ends! Short and dug in by Prasidh from around the wicket, Nicholls is a touch late and a touch cramped on the pull shot. Slightly unfortunate as a bottom edge cannons into his stumps.
IND vs NZ Live Score: 43/1 after 12
IND vs NZ Live Score: Nitish Kumar Reddy introduced and keeps it tidy, doesn't allow the pressure to leak. India slowly turning it up, crowd getting involved.
IND vs NZ Live Score: 27/1 after 9 overs
IND vs NZ Live Score: Much better from India's new ball seamers, with tighter and more challenging lines. Going at 3 rpo, and that will only increase the pressure through the middle overs.
IND vs NZ Live Score: Harshit hits bullseye! Stump sent dancing, Conway gone
IND vs NZ Live Score: Got him! Quick and straight from Harshit, not much feet from Conway, off his pad and into the off-stump to send it tumbling.
22/1, great start for India.
