India Vs New Zealand 2nd ODI 2026 LIVE: The Rohit Sharma-Virat Kohli caravan has reached Rajkot where India would be aiming to seal the ODI series against New Zealand in the second game of the three-match series on Wednesday. India have already lost Rishabh Pant due to injury before the start of the series. To add misery, all-rounder Washington Sundar too was ruled out of the remaining two matches due to injury. Delhi's Ayush Badoni has been called up.

However, it is unlikely, Badoni will get his maiden India cap as the team management are likely to field Nitish Kumar Reddy as Sundar's replacement. In the first game, India fielded three placers and three spinners. It will be interesting to see if Shubman Gill and Co include left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh in the playing XI.

IND vs NZ 2nd ODI Live Score: India in good stead with forms of top order batters

The good news for India is the form of Virat Kohli. Starting from the final match in Australia, Kohli has hit seven consecutive List A fifties including five for India. Along with Kohli, the forms of captain Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer on return have also given a sigh of relief for the Indian team. Both Gill and Iyer played their first ODIs after a long gap. While Gill returned after his neck injury against South Africa in the first Test, Iyer had suffered a rib cage injury in Australia that sidelined him for good three months.
