KL Rahul Falls as India Struggles Against New Zealand

In a crucial moment of the match, Indian batter KL Rahul was dismissed by New Zealand skipper Mitchell Santner as India reached 182-6 in 39.1 overs. Rahul, who managed 23 off 29 balls with one boundary, was caught out, adding pressure on the Indian batting lineup. Santner, who had bowled economically, finally broke the partnership, giving New Zealand a firm grip on the game. With Hardik Pandya at the crease and lower-order batters to follow, India will need a strong finish to set a competitive total.
