IND vs NZ: Batting Collapse, Bowling Woes Lead to India's Defeat in Rajkot ODI

  • New Zealand defeated India by 7 wickets in the second ODI in Rajkot, leveling the series 1-1.
  • India's batting collapsed, reminiscent of the World Cup final, with key players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Shreyas Iyer dismissed cheaply.
  • New Zealand's Daryl Mitchell scored 101 runs and Will Young added 87, leading their team to an easy victory.
  • Christian Clarke took crucial wickets, exposing India's vulnerability to swing bowling.
  • Prasidh Krishna dropped a vital catch, Ravindra Jadeja flopped at his home ground, and Kuldeep Yadav was expensive, contributing to India's loss.

Why It Matters: India's batting collapse and poor bowling performance led to a 7-wicket defeat against New Zealand.
