IND vs NZ Live Score: Daryl Mitchell plays a stroke against India in Rajkot.
IND vs NZ Highlights 2nd ODI: Daryl Mitchell produced a masterful unbeaten 131 to guide New Zealand to a comfortable seven-wicket victory over India in Rajkot, chasing down 285 with ease. The Kiwis finished at 286/3, drawing the three-match series level at 1-1. Mitchell and Will Young (87) took the game away from India while Glenn Phillips (32*) played a handy cameo in the end. Harshit Rana, Kuldeep Yadav and Prasidh Krishna picked a wicket each for India....Read More
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.
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

Jan 14, 2026 8:54:32 PM IST
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: Kuldeep removes Young!

Jan 14, 2026 8:26:26 PM IST
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.
Jan 14, 2026 8:23:11 PM IST
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*.
Jan 14, 2026 8:17:00 PM IST
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.
Jan 14, 2026 8:07:50 PM IST
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?
Jan 14, 2026 7:51:30 PM IST
IND vs NZ Live Score: Fifty for Will Young too – threat mounting against India

IND vs NZ Live Score: Mitchell in a really good run of form arm reaches 50 again, but Kuldeep threatening quietly.

Jan 14, 2026 7:35:50 PM IST
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.
Jan 14, 2026 7:30:25 PM IST
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.
Jan 14, 2026 7:23:28 PM IST
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.
Jan 14, 2026 7:20:12 PM IST
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.
Jan 14, 2026 7:16:21 PM IST
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.
Jan 14, 2026 7:03:00 PM IST
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.
Jan 14, 2026 6:47:50 PM IST
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.
Jan 14, 2026 6:43:26 PM IST
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.
Jan 14, 2026 6:30:02 PM IST
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.
Jan 14, 2026 6:11:27 PM IST
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.
Jan 14, 2026 6:04:40 PM IST
IND vs NZ Live Score: Conway off to a brisk start, 20/0 after 4
IND vs NZ Live Score: Good start for the Kiwis thanks to Conway, who has been looking to attack. A handful of boundaries already, India's seamers need to tighten up.
Jan 14, 2026 5:50:36 PM IST
IND vs NZ Live Score: 6 off the first over
IND vs NZ Live Score: Early boundary for Conway. Gets some width from Siraj and can squeeze it past the backward point fielder. Full length dive but can't stop it.
Jan 14, 2026 5:43:29 PM IST
IND vs NZ Live Score: Chase of 285 begins – India hunting early wickets
IND vs NZ Live Score: Their spinners will be key through the middle overs with Kuldeep and Jadeja working in tandem, but the seamers need to set the tone early on. Can't let Conway and Nicholls speed away early. Back very soon for the chase!
Jan 14, 2026 5:08:47 PM IST
IND vs NZ Live Score: Two fours in the last over, India finish on 284/7
IND vs NZ Live Score: Take a bow, KL Rahul. Came in during a tricky period, survived that, and finished with some oomph to take India to a very defendable 284/7 on this surface with very little support. Lots of 20s scattered through for India, but Gill's 56 and KL's 112* are the difference-makers.
Back for the chase next.
Jan 14, 2026 5:03:43 PM IST
IND vs NZ Live Score: CENTURY FOR KL RAHUL WITH SIX DOWN THE GROUND!
IND vs NZ Live Score: THERE IT IS! Thoroughly deserved, what a knock he has played. Almost a one-man army, his first six of the innings to bring up his tone. Full toss hammered straight back.
Pushes India past 270, into the last over. 285-290 the goal here now.
Jan 14, 2026 4:55:13 PM IST
IND vs NZ Live Score: Rana picks out long off!
IND vs NZ Live Score: NZ into the tail, and Rahul needs to keep hold of the strike now. Lennox gets his first wicket of his ODI career, floats it up nicely for Harshit. He tries to hammer it over the off-side, but doesn't connect cleanly. Taken at long-off.
Jan 14, 2026 4:52:16 PM IST
IND vs NZ Live Score: Four more for Rahul! Onto 87*
IND vs NZ Live Score: Not easy, but Rahul showing plenty of craft and precision to pick up his boundaries. Crucial 87* so far, and with 3 overs to play, he's eyeing 3-figures, but quick runs the need of the hour.
Jan 14, 2026 4:48:24 PM IST
IND vs NZ Live Score: Nitish picks out deep-midwicket!
IND vs NZ Live Score: Really good late bowling from New Zealand. With the slowness of the pitch, everything it a cutter. The batters struggling to generate their own power. NKR gets most of this one, but not enough of it as he tries to hoick it over square. Picks out the fielder there.
248/6 now with 22 balls to play.
Jan 14, 2026 4:42:16 PM IST
IND vs NZ Live Score: 239/5 with 5 overs to play
IND vs NZ Live Score: 5 overs left to play – what is the target NKR and KLR have in mind? They are happy to get a lot of their runs by running hard and rotating, but need boundaries too. Someone needs to be the aggressor.
Jan 14, 2026 4:37:08 PM IST
IND vs NZ Live Score: Nitish Kumar Reddy launches! Picks up 6
IND vs NZ Live Score: Shot! That's what he is in the team for. Reads the slower ball from Clarke, and it's a lovely compact swing over midwicket.
234/5 now with 6 overs to play. 300 on?
Jan 14, 2026 4:30:16 PM IST
IND vs NZ Live Score: KL Rahul brings out the reverse sweep!
IND vs NZ Live Score: Showing off now. Known as a classical player but has that in his locker. Gets low and sweeps fine past the short third fielder.
Onto 63*.
Jan 14, 2026 4:21:38 PM IST
IND vs NZ Live Score: Fifty for KL Rahul! 199/5 after 40 overs
IND vs NZ Live Score: Great innings from KL Rahul this, absorbed the pressure and then slowly began to up the scoring without needing to hit too many expansive shots. Six fours in his fifty, and with 10 overs to play, looking to go big in the last 10 overs. 199/5.
Jan 14, 2026 4:14:26 PM IST
IND vs NZ Live Score: GONE! Ravindra Jadeja chips it back to Bracewell and has to walk
IND vs NZ Live Score: Partnership broken by the Kiwi captain! That's the slowness in the pitch undoing Jadeja. Tries to knock it to long-on, but stops on him, and he rather spoons it back towards Bracewell. The bowler does well to get across to his left and take a low catch.
191/5 now. Nitish Kumar Reddy comes in.
Jan 14, 2026 4:12:38 PM IST
IND vs NZ Live Score: SHOT! Rahul looking in top form, 191/4 with 12 to play
IND vs NZ Live Score: What a shot that is, wow! Shot of the afternoon so far. Knows that he's expecting, knows what he wants to do, and that is timing and placement sent down from the cricketing gods. Not even really a half-volley from Jamieson, but Rahul can punch a cover drive from off-stump through the gap between mid-off and extra-cover inside the ring. Beautiful shot, onto 46*.
Jan 14, 2026 4:01:20 PM IST
IND vs NZ Live Score: 50 partnership! Rahul goes 4, 4
IND vs NZ Live Score: Good going from this pair. It's not the easiest of pitches but one with some runs on offer for good cricketing shots. KL Rahul beginning to accelerate too with some boundaries here – a lovely shot through the leg-side gap on the swivel, slightly cross-batted but very nicely maneuvered.
Jan 14, 2026 3:48:26 PM IST
IND vs NZ Live Score: Jadeja picks up 4!
IND vs NZ Live Score: Boundary for Jadeja! Short into him by Foulkes from around the wicket, but he can swivel and play it past short fine leg.
157/4. Slow and steady.
Jan 14, 2026 3:39:18 PM IST
IND vs NZ Live Score: Slow going for India at the moment
IND vs NZ Live Score: Jadeja and Rahul into Test mode almost, allowing the Kiwis to run through overs with some of their change spinners. The Kiwis in no rush, but they know they can't let Rahul in particular get set. He's on 14*(25).
Jan 14, 2026 3:26:35 PM IST
IND vs NZ Live Score: KL Rahul finds the first boundary in a long while!
IND vs NZ Live Score: There's the boundary India needed! KL Rahul was in this kind of situation in the World Cup final, and was heavily criticised for being too passive. Doesn't want to make that mistake again, so dances down and pierces the gap at cover against Phillips.
Jan 14, 2026 3:25:22 PM IST
IND vs NZ Live Score: No boundaries in 10 overs
IND vs NZ Live Score: New Zealand's discipline ensuring that India can't break the shackles at all. 10 overs without a four. Basically since Gill's wicket. Things getting tricky here.
Jan 14, 2026 3:15:30 PM IST
IND vs NZ Live Score: Jadeja joins Rahul, 120/4 in 24
IND vs NZ Live Score: No boundaries in 8 overs now. Runs have dried up and New Zealand have a pep in their step. Rahul already has been hit hard on his helmet. India will need to survive this little period – Kiwis on top now.
Jan 14, 2026 3:12:33 PM IST
IND vs NZ Live Score: GONEEEEE! KOHLI FALLS ON 23
IND vs NZ Live Score: HUGE WICKET! Virat Kohli has been in red hot form and this is a wicket he wouldn't have expected himself to lose! Tries to guide it down to third man but cramped for room just a little bit, and chops onto his stumps – he is absolutely bewildered.
That's three wickets for Kristian Clarke in just his second ODI – Rohit, Shreyas, Virat. Not a bad list at all.
Jan 14, 2026 3:02:59 PM IST
IND vs NZ Live Score: SHREYAS IYER GONE! Soft wicket, falls on 8
IND vs NZ Live Score: That's a poor shot and New Zealand have their third wicket in the innings! Iyer tries to drive Clarke on the up, but it's not there for this shot. Hits the inside of his bat and loops easily to Bracewell at mid-off.
Neither one shot or another from Shreyas there, he will be angry at himself. 115/3 now. Kohli on 21*.
Jan 14, 2026 2:56:47 PM IST
IND vs NZ Live Score: 112/2 after 20 overs
IND vs NZ Live Score: Quiet little poerion of play here after Gill's wicket. Taking their time in the middle, are Iyer and Kohli, knowing they need to keep their wickets in hand. Won't concern them too much – even in a defensive frame, they can rotate the strike very well and keep the runs flowing.
Jan 14, 2026 2:43:16 PM IST
IND vs NZ Live Score: Jamieson has Gill! Out on 56
IND vs NZ Live Score: Got him! He's been close to picking up his wicket and does it now! Short, Gill tries his short-arm jab which he is usually good at, but hits it too uppishly. Daryl Mitchell at midwicket can pouch it easily.
Looked good for 56, but will be disappointed he couldn't get more.
99/2 after 16.5.
Jan 14, 2026 2:40:30 PM IST
IND vs NZ Live Score: Virat Kohli starts well, and surpasses Sachin Tendulkar's feat
IND vs NZ Live Score: Virat Kohli with a couple of early boundaries to get going. He has already achieved a couple of big feats today – he's up to number one ODI batter, announced earlier today by ICC. He has also become India's highest run-scorer against New Zealand, overtaking Sachin Tendulkar, and stands only behind Ricky Ponting in the overall list.
