India vs New Zealand, 2nd ODI, New Zealand tour of India, 2026 - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Kuldeep Yadav to Will Young, out Caught by Nitish Reddy!! Finally the partnership is broken. Finally India have managed to not mess it up. Finally the ball has gone close to the fielder rather than fall short. But was this required?
