IND vs NZ: KL Rahul Scores Century During India’s Second ODI Against New Zealand

KL Rahul scored his eighth ODI century and became the first Indian to hit a hundred at Rajkot, guiding India to 284/7 despite most teammates failing to pass 30.

  • In the second ODI at Rajkot, KL Rahul led India to 284 for seven wickets, remaining unbeaten on 112 off 92 at the Niranjan Shah Stadium.
  • Top-Order failures left KL Rahul with a rescue role to play as India slumped to 118/4, with opener Rohit Sharma scoring 24 and Virat Kohli falling soon after for 23.
  • Stitching 73 for the fifth wicket with Ravindra Jadeja, Rahul paced his innings with fifty off 52 balls and reached his century off 87, hitting 11 fours and a six.
  • With the pitch favouring higher totals, New Zealand look the happier side as the Niranjan Shah Stadium average first-innings score is 322, but India must bowl well to defend the target of 285 runs.
  • The knock marked KL Rahul's eighth ODI hundred, surpassing former India captain Mohammad Azharuddin's tally of seven, and made him the first Indian centurion at Niranjan Shah Stadium, Rajkot.
