India vs New Zealand Match Highlights & Results

For New Zealand, this defence was always going to be more about the education their young, inexperienced bowling group would receive. Bowling and challenging a batting lineup of this calibre, under pressure and in unfamiliar conditions, is exposure you simply cannot manufacture in training. It was a sharp learning curve for most of them, but one that will serve them well in the future. Okay then, India go 1-0 up in this 3-match ODI series and now, both teams will stay in Gujarat, but travel to Rajkot for the second ODI, which will be played on Wednesday, 14th January, at the Niranjan Shah Stadium. The first ball is scheduled to be bowled at 1.30 pm IST (8 am GMT). But do not forget to mark your presence in advance for all the buildup. Until then, it's goodbye, stay safe. Cheers!

India’s VIRAT KOHLI is named PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his fluent 93 off 91 balls. He collects the award and steps in for a chat, and when Harsha Bhogle informs him that this is his 45th Player of the Match award in ODIs, Kohli responds with a smile, admitting he was unaware of the milestone. Shares he sends his awards to his mother, adding that it makes her feel very proud. Reflecting on his journey, he describes it as nothing short of a dream come true. Says he always believed in his abilities and worked really hard to reach where he is today, while also expressing deep gratitude for all that God has given him. Kohli admits that he isn’t thinking about milestones at this stage, stressing that his focus is purely on putting the team in a winning position. He explains that had India been batting first, he would have played with more aggression, but in the given situation, experience guided his approach. Further adds that batting at No. 3, his aim was to counterattack sensibly when things felt tricky, without attempting outrageous shots. Details that he felt a quick partnership in the first 20 balls was key. On the crowd cheering when a batter ahead of him gets out, Kohli admits he doesn’t feel good about it, recalling that he saw the same happen with MS Dhoni, though he understands the excitement of the crowd. He adds that he simply tries to stay focused on the game and says it is a blessing to see people come out to watch him play, something that fills him with gratitude and happiness.

The victorious captain of India, SHUBMAN GILL, is all smiles. He says that it always feels great to chip in, especially when you are chasing. Adds that staying in the presence is the key for any athlete in any sport, and just tries to do that. Mentions that the way Kohli is batting is really special and he is making it look easy. Tells that it is tough to start on a surface like this, but it is not easy to replicate what he is doing. Informs that keeping Arshdeep out was more of a rotation thing, and further adds that he did well against South Africa when Siraj wasn't there. Ends by saying that Sundar had a side strain and will go for scans after the game.

The captain of New Zealand, MICHAEL BRACEWELL, reflects on the defeat. He says the side can be proud of its overall effort, though he admits there are a few areas they would like to tidy up. Feels the game could have been very interesting had they managed to add another 20 runs to the total. Further adds that he was hoping Kyle Jamieson would be able to bowl around 15 overs, noting that it’s always great to watch him charging in. Bracewell then points out that the team has plenty of experience with the bat and says they will continue to rely on that. He also praises Daryl Mitchell for doing a great job with the bat. He says they often talk about producing match-changing moments in the field, and feels that had those chances been taken, the outcome could have been very different.

... THE PRESENTATION CEREMONY ...

Now, let's hear it from the man of the moment, KL RAHUL, who is up for a quick chat with the broadcasters. He shares that Harshit took a lot of pressure off him with his knock. Adds that he was very calm as they didn't need to chase much and at this level, you are expected to get 6-7 runs an over. Mentions that he knew Sundar had an injury, but didn't know he couldn't run. Tells that when he came in, they didn't need much and took a few risks, which, if they had paid off, this game would have finished earlier. Says that everyone who came in, chipped in well. Rohit got them started, while Kohli and Gill were excellent in that partnership and then Iyer also played nicely. Further adds that the pitch was on the slower side but didn't do much and the top order made the job easier for the next batters. Says that in the last 8-10 years, they have had a lot of last-over finishes against New Zealand, and they are a side that never gives up, which makes this contest very exciting. Ends by saying that he is looking forward to the upcoming games.

Earlier in the game, New Zealand were asked to bat and set a target. On a slowish kind of surface, the Indian bowlers couldn't apply the pressure early on as Conway and Nicholls enjoyed a rather comfortable start. Both batted for 20 overs and got off to their respective fifties, but both fell within the span of a few deliveries, which triggered a collapse. New Zealand slipped from 117/0 to 146/3, but the Indian pacers kept chipping away at the wickets further as well. Several batters got into their teens but couldn't carry forward on their starts. It was Daryl Mitchell, who held his ground and batted till the backend, scoring yet another fifty in this format and ending on 84. Kristian Clarke gave a good account of himself with the bat on his debut, adding 24 crucial runs and pushing the total to 300. For India, the pace trio of Rana, Siraj, and Prasidh bagged two apiece, whereas Kuldeep got a wicket to his name as well.

Demoted to number six, KL Rahul latched on and stuck like glue at the crease, managing the chase smartly alongside Harshit Rana. Rana briefly took the aggressive route, slashing the asking rate with a breezy 29, while Rahul was content playing second fiddle and holding the innings together. All New Zealand needed was someone to sustain the pressure Kyle Jamieson had built from the other end. But a few sloppy fielding lapses, including a dropped catch of Rana off Mitchell, coupled with the inexperience in the bowling attack, took the edge off that push. Rahul sensed his moment, lined up debutant Kristian Clarke, and slammed the door shut with a composed, authoritative finish.

It was followed by another handy little alliance between Kohli and Iyer, which just dragged the game away from the tourists. And with the increasing presence of dew, it got really hard to control the flow of runs. But against the run of play, and just seven runs short of a century, Kohli was dismissed, and from there came an unexpected twist as Jamieson delivered a dream spell by reducing India from 234/2 to 242/5 with a four-wicket haul. That slide brought the Kiwis right back in the fight as boundaries dried up. India still needed 59 runs to win in less than nine overs when Iyer got dismissed.

Gill took his time at the crease because Virat Kohli answered the call in emphatic fashion, and batted with complete freedom to keep the pressure sustained from one end. There was a phase of nearly nine overs where boundaries didn't come for India, but both kept themselves busy with regular strike rotation and kept the asking rate in check. Both made merry with a 118-run partnership before Gill's stay was cut short on 56 by Adithya Ashok. But still, the chase was well under control with enough wickets in hand.

Chasing 301, India, much like their opponents, began on a cautious note. Gill’s outside edge was beaten repeatedly by Foulkes, who found sharp outswing, while Jamieson hit the deck hard at times. Rohit, though, broke the shackles early and took on the role of the aggressor. Once both openers found their feet, they made the most of the fielding restrictions before Rohit fell, undone by his own attacking intent. India closed the Powerplay on 48/1. They might have pinched a couple, perhaps three more boundaries, but that leakage was expertly plugged by Glenn Phillips, whose acrobatic work at backward point prevented the ball from traveling.

This game had no business going down to the wire, and was well on course for an early finish with the way Kohli and Shreyas were batting at one point. But that is New Zealand for you. No matter the situation, they find a way to scrap, claw their way back, and drag opponents into deep waters. And to do so with a depleted bowling lineup just tells about their never say die attitude. But class has a habit of rising when it matters most. KL Rahul stayed ice-cool under pressure, anchored one end with composure and responsibility, and calmly finished the job when it counted.

Kristian Clarke to KL Rahul, Six!SIX! DONE AND DUSTED! Kristian Clarke pitches it up, on middle and angling in. KL Rahul gets under it and whips it away using his wrists over the deep mid-wicket fence for a biggie. INDIA WIN BY 4 WICKETS AND TAKE THE LEAD IN THE SERIES 1-0!

Kristian Clarke to KL Rahul, Four!FOUR! Pressure-releasing shot! A slower one. full but down the leg side.

There is a check whether it is a six or a four, but the replay shows that it has bounced just before. 5 needed in 8 now.

Kristian Clarke to Washington Sundar, 1 run.Overthrows! The throw was absolutely not needed there. Short of a length and around off, Washington Sundar cuts it towards point. KL Rahul wants the run but is sent back. The fielder takes aim and has a shy at the bowler's end but misses. Even if he had hit the stumps, Rahul was in. There is no backup and the ball rolls away in the deep, which allows the single. This is ordinary cricket from New Zealand after being so sharp in the field for most of the innings.

Kristian Clarke (9-0-56-1) will bowl the most important over of the match on his ODI debut. The penultimate over coming up.

Zakary Foulkes to Washington Sundar, 1 run.Pitched up and angling into the pads, Washington Sundar chips it in the air but on the bounce to deep fine leg for one more. 12 needed in 12 now.

Conference time! Michael Bracewell is circled by several Kiwi players as they have a chat about whom to give this over to. Foulkes has one left. Which means they will need to bowl an over of spin, with only Kristian Clarke left with one over of pace. Okay, Bracewell calls Zakary Foulkes into the attack to bowl out. 9-0-43-0 are his bowling figures so far.

Kristian Clarke to KL Rahul, 1 run.Bangs this into pitch, outside off. KL Rahul drags this and loses his bottom hand off the handle, but still manages to pull it to deep square leg for one and retains the strike. 18 needed in 18 now.

Kristian Clarke to Washington Sundar, 1 run.Lovely shot! Fuller delivery, on off, Washington Sundar shows the full face of the bat and lifts it over mid off. Daryl Mitchell runs after and dives to push it back inside. However, as soon as Sundar played the shot, he looked in a lot of pain and only managed to get a single by hobbling gingerly to the other end. He was also seen holding his back. Might have just tweaked it a bit.

Will Sundar come out to bat? This is the question now. Is he fit enough to bat? He sure is. Washington Sundar is in at number 8. India need 22 runs off 22 balls.

Kristian Clarke to Harshit Rana, OUT! c Mitchell Hay b Kristian Clarke.OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Kristian Clarke gets his MAIDEN ODI WICKET! He is ecstatic and so are the Kiwis as they see another twist in the tale. Clarke hits the length hard this time, on middle, gets some extra bounce. Harshit Rana is not expecting that but tries to heave it across the line, and only gets a faint outside edge behind, where Mitchell Hay makes no mistake. Rana goes back after playing a handy knock of 29 off 23.

Kristian Clarke to Harshit Rana, Four!FOUR! Gets it away and this will ease the nerves even more for India! Kristian Clarke bowls a low full toss, on off. Harshit Rana opens up his body and crunches it through the covers for a boundary, beating deep backward point to his right.

Michael Bracewell to KL Rahul, 2 runs.Good effort this time in the deep! Flighted, full and on middle, KL Rahul bunts it hard and down the ground wide of long on. Daryl Mitchell runs to his left and dives to push it back inside to save a couple of runs for his team.

Michael Bracewell (7-0-48-0) is back on. Can the skipper provide another breakthrough? Let's see.

Washington Sundar was seen padded up in the dressing room a while ago. He didn't come to bat over Rana, so there might have been some reason for that. However, Rana has given a good account of himself with the bat so far.

Kristian Clarke to Harshit Rana, Six!SIX! BRUTE FORCE! That will ease the nerves massively in that Indian camp. Takes all the pace off from the ball, and lands it somewhere outside off, on a good length. Harshit Rana waits on it, weighs on the back foot and picks the bones out by pulling it over deep mid-wicket for a six. He knew it straightaway after connecting the ball. 34 needed off 30 balls.

Kristian Clarke to KL Rahul, 1 run.Back of a length, outside off, KL Rahul leans back and cuts it to the right of Phillips at point for a single. GP stops it with the dive to that direction.

Zakary Foulkes to Harshit Rana, No run.IN THE AIR AND DROPPED! Daryl Mitchell, of all people! We just saw an absolutely brilliant effort in the field the last ball, and it is followed by a schoolboy error. Short of a length outside off, the slower one at 102 kph. Rana backs away and flat-bats it straight down the throat of Mitchell at long on. He gets comfortably underneath it and spills a sitter. Harshit had already started to walk off but gets a slice of luck.

Zakary Foulkes to Harshit Rana, 2 runs.My word! Glenn Phillips is everywhere. Stops yet another boundary. Who says Kiwis cannot fly? That ball had no business getting cut off. Short and drifting down the leg stump, as Rana steps down the track. Harshit swivels and pulls it out to deep backward square leg for a brace, with Phillips sprinting and flinging himself to his right to intercept it. Just two.

Zakary Foulkes to KL Rahul, 1 run.Rolls his fingers on the leather, short and on middle, KL Rahul pulls it to deep backward square leg for a single.

Zakary Foulkes to KL Rahul, 1 run.Full and on the pads, KL Rahul flicks it to the mid-wicket region and the call is for two. Rahul turns around for the second, and so does Harshit, but for some reason, Harshit stops midway, which forces Rahul to retreat back and dive before the throw arrives at the bowler's end.

Kyle Jamieson has bowled out with figures of 10-1-41-4. So, who will Michael Bracewell turn to now? It will be Zakary Foulkes.

Kristian Clarke to Harshit Rana, Four!FOUR! SMASHED! Harshit ends the boundary drought for India. It was an outstanding over from the young Clarke until this delivery. Speared fuller, outside off, Harshit backs away to give himself room and slashes hard at it. Though he gets a thick outside edge, the ball breezes through backward point and short third for a boundary. India need 50 runs off 42 balls now!

Kristian Clarke to Harshit Rana, 2 runs.Good running! Hurls in another pace-off ball, on the leg stump, Harshit uses soft hands to clip the ball through the mid-wicket gap for a couple of runs.

Harshit Rana has hurt his left shoulder while putting the dive to make his ground. The physio is in to check on him, but he seems fine. Also, positive signs for India, as the visuals show that Washington Sundar is padded up in the dressing room.

Kyle Jamieson to Harshit Rana, 1 run.A massive mix-up but no harm done! Back of a length, outside off, Harshit Rana hops off and punches it to deep backward point for a single. KL Rahul is glued to the crease after completing the single, but Harshit Rana is already halfway for the double and has to retreat back. He does so with a dive, before the throw comes in at the keeper's end, and Mitch Hay underarms the throw to the bowler's end. Looks like he has jarred his left shoulder on the dive, and needs some medical assistance.

Kyle Jamieson to Harshit Rana, No run.Nagging length, angling on the leg stump line, Harshit Rana punches it to mid on.

Kyle Jamieson to Harshit Rana, No run.BEATEN! Absolute pearler! Nips away from off on a good length, on top of off, another cross-seam delivery. Harshit Rana is way leg side of the ball and hangs his bat away from the body, only to get beaten past the outside edge.

Kyle Jamieson to Shreyas Iyer, OUT! b Kyle Jamieson.OUT! BOWLED! A beauty and Kyle Jamieson has breathed life into this game. 4th wicket for him. A cross-seam delivery, lands on off and nips sharply into the batter from off. Shreyas Iyer plays a loose shot over the line and gets beaten on the inside edge as the ball smashes into the stumps behind. The off pole goes for a walk. This game is wide open now. Shreyas Iyer departs on 49 off 47 and India are 242/5. They were 234/2 at one stage. JAMIESON IS ON A HAT TRICK!

Zakary Foulkes to Shreyas Iyer, 1 run.Nips in off the pitch, on a good length, on middle. Shreyas heaves it off the toe end to widish square leg for a single. The equation - India need 59 off 54 balls.

Two wickets in the same over for Jamieson and New Zealand have made a slight comeback. With 62 needed off 60, KL Rahul is in at number 6. There's no update about whether Sundar is fit enough to bat. So, if New Zealand manage another quick wicket, they might actually have a real sniff at it. POWERPLAY 3 TIME! A maximum of 5 fielders are allowed outside the 30-yard circle for the rest of the innings. Zakary Foulkes (7-0-34-0) to continue.

Kyle Jamieson to Ravindra Jadeja, OUT! c Kristian Clarke b Kyle Jamieson.OUT! TAKEN! Two wickets in the over for Kyle Jamieson, and is there a twist in the game? He goes much fuller this time, on middle, sticks to the surface a bit. Ravindra Jadeja looks to clip it away but just checks his shot at the last moment. He ends up just chipping it straight to mid on, where Kristian Clarke gets low to his front to take a simple catch. Jadeja is not happy with himself at all, but has to walk back for 4 off 5, and India are 239/4 now, chasing 301 runs.

Kyle Jamieson to Virat Kohli, OUT! c Michael Bracewell b Kyle Jamieson.OUT! TAKEN! Oh, dear! It is absolute pin-drop silence here in Vadodara, and heartbreak for Virat Kohli as he falls just short of his century. Kyle Jamieson lands this on hard length and around off, Virat Kohli charges down the track and tries to loft it down the ground, but ends up hitting it too close to mid off. It flies flat, and Michael Bracewell does well to move to his right to take a sharp catch with the ball almost behind him. Kohli is very disappointed with himself, not only because of not getting to a hundred, but also for not staying there till the end and finishing the job. Virat walks back for a magnificent 93 off 91, and to a big applause from the crowd.

Zakary Foulkes to Virat Kohli, 1 run.Another slower delivery, full and on off, Virat Kohli pushes it through covers for one more.

Zakary Foulkes to Virat Kohli, No run.A big shout from Zakary Foulkes for the caught behind, but turned down. However, Michael Bracewell takes the review here, but more in desperation. This is a well-directed bumper on middle. Virat Kohli tries to pull it away, but it looks like he misses it by some distance, before Mitchell Hay grabs it behind the stumps. Well, the UltraEdge and replay confirm that there is no bat involved. The Kiwis lose a review.

Zakary Foulkes to Shreyas Iyer, 1 run.Another short delivery, outside off, Shreyas Iyer drags it from there and shovels it. He does not get the timing as his bat turns in his hands and the deep mid-wicket fielder runs to his left to cut it out. Two taken.
