Gautam Gambhir Criticized for KL Rahul's Batting Position

In the 2nd ODI, India faced New Zealand in Wellington, with rain causing interruptions. India ended at 113 for 7 in 26 overs, just above the DLS par score. Gautam Gambhir received criticism for placing KL Rahul at No. 6 after Axar Patel, as Kris Srikkanth questioned why Rahul wasn't batting higher. India's bowling, highlighted by Gurnoor Brar's 4 for 30, shone brightly.
