    India vs New Zealand 2nd ODI Preview: Gill’s Men Eye Series Win in Rajkot

    By IANS News January 13, 2026 • 21:11 PM View: 321

    Following a narrow four-wicket win in the series opener at Vadodara, India will now face New Zealand in Rajkot to try to clinch the series by taking an unbeatable lead in the three-match series. The two sides will lock horns at the Niranjan Shah Stadium, a typically batting-friendly surface, where the BlackCaps will aim to level the series while the hosts will aim to grab a 2-0 lead.

    India's playing XI for the second ODI will witness at least one change after Washington Sundar was ruled out of the remainder of the series following an injury. The all-rounder was replaced by Ayush Badoni in the squad as the 26-year-old received his maiden ODI call-up. Captain Shubman Gill faces a typical ‘selection dilemma' after several fringe players stepped up under pressure.
