The India vs New Zealand ODI 2026 clashes stood out for their intensity, part of New Zealand&#8217;s tour to India in 2025-26. This three-game India vs. New Zealand ODI series drew crowds eager for high-stakes action, and the second encounter proved pivotal. Held on January 14, 2026, in Rajkot, it leveled things after India&#8217;s win in the opener, setting up a decider. We&#8217;ll break down this game, from key plays to standout efforts, while touching on the broader India vs New Zealand ODI scorecard implications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fans had waited eagerly for this India vs New Zealand ODI series, recalling past thrillers like World Cup knockouts. New Zealand, the underdogs, aimed to upset India at home, where the hosts usually dominate. The first match in Vadodara saw India chase down 301 for a four-wicket victory, thanks to Virat Kohli&#8217;s 93. That put pressure on the Kiwis for Rajkot. The Niranjan Shah Stadium, known for flat tracks favoring batsmen, promised runs, but evening dew could sway the chase.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teams arrived with tweaks in mind. India stuck with their core: Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill opening, Kohli at three, followed by Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, and Nitish Kumar Reddy. Bowling relied on Mohammed Siraj, Harshit Rana, Prasidh Krishna, Kuldeep Yadav, and Jadeja. New Zealand fielded Devon Conway, Henry Nicholls, Will Young, Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Hay, captain Michael Bracewell, Zak Foulkes, Kristian Clarke, Kyle Jamieson, and debutant Jayden Lennox.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">        <div class=\"iprovpn_btn_cta_row\">\n    \t<a class=\"btn_cta\" href=\"https:\/\/iprovpn.com\/buy-vpn\" title=\"Get iProVPN Now\">Get
