India vs New Zealand 1st ODI: Kohli's 93, Dropped Catches & Rahul Seal Tense Win | IND-NZ ODI

In a special report, India Today's Consulting Editor, Nikhil Naz, breaks down India's tense four-wicket victory over New Zealand in the first ODI at Baroda. Naz points out that while India appeared to be cruising towards an easy win, the match became a '50-50 sort of an encounter' following the dismissal of Virat Kohli for 93. He states, 'While he was there on the crease, it looked like India are in cruise control, driver's seat, cruising to an easy win.' Naz also highlights that dropped catches by an otherwise proficient New Zealand side proved critical. He notes that the visiting team was not at full strength, with several key players missing, yet they still managed to give India a tough fight before KL Rahul finished the match.
