With the eight-wicket win, India win the 2nd ODI and also the series the New Zealand.
This game was surely one of India's most clinical ODI wins in recent times.
Surely 109 was never going to be a problem for India to chase as the bowlers did an excellent job.
Stumping appeal was made, but Kohli was already walking away. Latham also looked quite confident and replay confirmed it clearly that the back foot had dragged out momentarily after which the bails were whipped off.

The crowd went quite as they wanted Rohit to entertain them till the end.

Rohit Sharma brings up his fifty. It was a typically classy Rohit innings.
There was a brief delay to the runs score as a fanboy stormed into the ground and hugged Rohit Sharma.
Security was promptly there to escort the lad away but Rohit was seen saying he is a small kid.
Not the first half anyone expected as after losing the 1st ODI, all expected the Kiwis to come in all guns blazing. Rohit winning the toss and opting to field surely helped.
Siraj and Shami got the right start and the others followed. Every Indian bowler has a wicket to their name, with Shami getting 3, Pandya and Sundar got 2 while Siraj, Thakur, and Kuldeep got one each.
Kuldeep wraps it up for India as New Zealand have been show out for 108!
Tickner played all down the wrong line and the ball hit on the back leg and that's plumb.

India surely got catching practice at deep mid-wicket. Set batter Glenn Phillips falls and it was Sundar who got his wicket.

However, he was not happy with that as he came back again for his second over and same as before, SKY got a catch and sent back Ferguson. Just like that, India need one more wicket to finish the innings quickly with around 17 overs left.

Change of pace works for India as Santner completely misses the ball. The batter went with hard hands but gets a thick inside edge which bounces onto his back leg and breaks the stumps.

Shami gets his 3rd wicket! 1st ODI centurion Bracewell was swivelling across on the pull, but he only manages a feather of an edge and Ishan Kishan does the rest.

Latham hangs his bat out and gets a thick edge. Gill at first slip does the rest.

What a catch it was! This was a one-handed beauty and Conway could not believe what he just saw. No one knew it either.
The crowd react only after they see the Indian fielders chirping along with the bowler.
A wicket-maiden for Pandya as well.

Wickets are tumbling in Raipur as Shami gets his 2nd. Mitchell was looking to work it to the on-side, but jabbed a thick front-edge back at the bowler. Shami does a good reflex catch.
Mitchell c and b Shami 1(3)
What a start for India as Siraj too takes a wicket. Siraj drew Nicholls forward into the push, and he did so, and the edge carries nicely into the hands of Gill at slip.
Niicholls c Shubman Gill b Siraj 2(20)
A terrific delivery and Finn Allen has been beaten by the inswinger. Tha ball nipped back in late and clipped the back-pad and crashed into the top of middle-stump.
A wicket-maiden from Shami.
Finn Allen b Shami 0(5)
Rohit Sharma, after winning the toss, almost blanked out and did not know what to say.
He made everyone laugh and then said, "I forgot what we wanted to do, had plenty of discussions with the team about the toss decision".
India will be fielding first and have gone unchanged same as the Kiwis.
