Daryl Mitchell's Century Guides New Zealand to Series-Levelling Win Over India in 2nd ODI

In the second ODI at Rajkot, New Zealand leveled the three-match series 1-1 by chasing down India's 285-run target with seven wickets in hand. Daryl Mitchell scored an unbeaten 131, his third century against India in India, supported by Will Young's 87. Despite KL Rahul's resilient 112 not out for India, the home team's spin attack, particularly Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja, struggled to contain the Kiwis. India captain Shubman Gill acknowledged missed opportunities in the middle overs, while Mitchell highlighted adapting to conditions as key to New Zealand's win. The series decider will be played in Indore.
