Rahul shepherds India to win a low-scoring semi-thriller vs New Zealand
KL Rahul's heroic innings proved decisive in India's narrow win over New Zealand in the second ODI of the India Tour of New Zealand series. After a shaky start, Rahul displayed a keen understanding of the pitch and the bowling conditions to steer India to victory by the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method.

Despite falling behind the target, Rahul's clinical hitting with sixes off Jacob Duffy and top-edged boundaries ensured India reached the finish line.
