Kuldeep Yadav's 'Blunder' Shocks Captain Gill, Costs India Dearly in ODI

• Kuldeep Yadav dropped an easy catch of Henry Nicholls in the first ODI against New Zealand in Vadodara.
• The dropped catch occurred in the sixth over off Harshit Rana's bowling, stunning both the bowler and captain Shubman Gill.
• Nicholls, given a lifeline at 4 runs, went on to score a crucial 62 runs and formed a 117-run opening partnership with Devon Conway.
• New Zealand posted 300 runs, with Nicholls' fifty and Daryl Mitchell's 84 runs being key contributions.
• Kuldeep Yadav took only one wicket, conceding 52 runs in nine overs, while Harshit Rana, Mohammed Siraj, and Prasidh Krishna took two wickets each.
