KL Rahul Eden Park Records: ODI Stats and Record vs New Zealand

KL Rahul has one Eden Park Main Stadium ODI appearance: 4 from 8 balls against New Zealand on 8 February 2020, when India lost by 22 runs. His wider record is much stronger: 3,541 runs in 101 ODIs at a Cricinfo-listed average of 51.31, while his all-venue ODI record against New Zealand is 470 runs at 78.33. These are different samples and should not be read as interchangeable. The figures below were checked on 3 November 2026. Cricinfo’s current profile lists Rahul’s latest Test as 27 August 2026, latest ODI as 3 October 2026 and latest T20I as 10 November 2022; the scheduled 4 November 2026 Eden Park ODI was unplayed at the cutoff and is excluded from every total and appearance list. 14678

Key takeaways

• Rahul’s Eden Park ODI sample is one innings: 4 off 8, with no boundary, a 50.00 strike rate and a dismissal bowled by Colin de Grandhomme. 678
• His all-venue ODI record against New Zealand is 11 matches, 470 runs at 78.33, with a highest score of 112 not out, two hundreds and one fifty. 345
• The principal current ODI row is 101 matches, 3,541 runs, 51.31 average and 92.38 strike rate. Howstat displays the same raw record with a 51.32 average; that is retained as a publisher display difference rather than blended. 124
• Bowling figures are not applicable in the supplied international rows: Cricinfo displays dashes. A missing complete career run-out ledger is marked unavailable, while the opened 2020 scorecard does verify one match-level run-out involvement. 1814

1. Overall international career records

The format rows below use the current profile record for each format. “Batting innings” means innings in which Rahul batted. A dash in the bowling fields means not applicable/did not bowl in the published row, not a verified zero-wicket bowling career. 114

Career batting record 1

Career bowling record 114

Career fielding record 1

Cricinfo’s current ODI row is used for the primary fielding display: 85 catches and 9 stumpings. Howstat separately shows 14 non-keeper catches, 72 wicketkeeping catches and 8 stumpings, a component display that implies 86 catches and does not reconcile to the Cricinfo row. The figures are therefore preserved as a named source discrepancy rather than added together. 125

Additive counts across formats only 1

These totals add raw counts from the three same-cutoff format rows; no cross-format average, economy rate or strike rate is calculated.

2. Detailed ODI career

Rahul’s current ODI record runs through the 3 October 2026 match listed by Cricinfo. The raw counters agree across the principal current tables; the average differs only in the displayed final decimal place: Cricinfo shows 51.31 and Howstat 51.32. 124

ODI batting profile 124

ODI bowling and fielding profile 12514

Rahul’s ODI value is therefore overwhelmingly a batting-and-wicketkeeping record in the supplied tables. The 51.31 Cricinfo average is retained as the controlling current display, while Howstat’s 51.32 is shown beside it because both are source displays of the same raw record. 12

3. Eden Park, Auckland ODI record

This section is restricted to Eden Park Main Stadium men’s ODIs. It excludes the Outer Oval, domestic/List A matches, T20Is and other New Zealand grounds. The complete player-ground table and its Eden Park innings filter identify one Rahul appearance. 6713

Eden Park ODI batting totals 678

Eden Park bowling and fielding totals 16814

The venue sample is the same as Rahul’s New Zealand-only venue slice because his sole Eden Park ODI was against New Zealand. It is not the same as his all-venue New Zealand ODI record of 11 matches and 470 runs. Eden Park itself has hosted non-New Zealand opponents, World Cup matches, a tie and no-results; those are ground-history facts, not Rahul appearances. 367813

4. Every ODI appearance at Eden Park, chronologically

The player-specific Eden Park filter returns one innings, and the opened scorecard reconciles the runs, balls, dismissal, wicketkeeping contribution and India result. The 25 November 2022 Eden Park ODI is not included because Rahul was absent from India’s XI; the scheduled 4 November 2026 fixture was unplayed at the cutoff. 78913

That 4 off 8 is a complete innings line, not a DNB entry. The 2022 scorecard is a negative appearance check only, not an additional Rahul match row. 89

5. ODI record against New Zealand at every venue

This is Rahul’s all-venue ODI-v-New Zealand record, not an Eden Park-only record. The 11-match opponent row spans 2019–2026 and includes matches in New Zealand, India and other host contexts. 345

ODI batting against New Zealand 34

ODI bowling and fielding against New Zealand 4514

The contrast is stark but sample-dependent: Rahul has 4 runs in his one Eden Park innings, but 470 runs across 11 ODIs against New Zealand at all venues. The opponent average of 78.33 rests on five not-outs and cannot be used to rewrite the one-match venue result. 34567

6. All-format records against New Zealand

The following rows keep Test, ODI and T20I records separate. Rates are format-specific; bowling fields remain not applicable where the source rows display dashes. 101112

Batting against New Zealand by format 101112

Bowling against New Zealand by format 101214

Fielding against New Zealand by format 1012

The Test split is two matches and 82 runs at 20.50, with a highest score of 38; the historical Howstat opponent cross-check agrees on that split, although its overall Test page is stale and is not used for Rahul’s current 70-Test career row. The T20I opponent record covers Rahul’s listed 2020–2021 New Zealand matches and is 322 runs at 46.00, with three fifties. 1101112

Venue vs ODI career vs New Zealand opponent

The three scopes answer different questions: what Rahul has done at Eden Park, across his ODI career, and against New Zealand regardless of ground. 1367

*Howstat displays Rahul’s ODI career average as 51.32; Cricinfo’s 51.31 is the controlling current display. The Eden and opponent rows should not be merged: one is a single ground innings, while the other covers 11 matches at multiple venues. 23467

Wider Eden Park context

The complete Eden Park ODI register contains 11 India-involving matches, but that is a team-venue match count, not a count of Rahul or any other individual’s appearances. In the supported venue-wide sorted records, Virender Sehwag owns the highest India innings listed at the ground: 112 from 139 balls against New Zealand on 11 January 2003. Javagal Srinath is the supported India wicket leader with 12 wickets in four matches, and 4/23 is Srinath’s own best innings figure in the opened record. These are supported venue facts, not an all-time ranking derived from the eleven selected subjects. 1516202122

The following requested India-wide rankings remain unavailable from the opened venue tables: highest aggregate runs, best batting average with at least two innings, best strike rate with at least two innings and 50 balls, and most individual appearances. The available average table uses a five-innings/200-run minimum rather than the requested two-innings qualification, the strike-rate view does not expose the required balls-faced filter, and the complete match register does not identify player appearance totals. No selected-player comparison is used as a substitute for those unresolved rankings. 171819

Frequently asked questions

How many ODIs has KL Rahul played at Eden Park?

Rahul has played one Eden Park Main Stadium ODI through the 3 November 2026 cutoff. He made 4 off 8 against New Zealand on 8 February 2020. The scheduled 4 November match was unplayed and is not an appearance. 678

Why are T20Is not included in the Eden Park ODI total?

The venue section is deliberately restricted to men’s ODIs at Eden Park Main Stadium. T20Is, domestic/List A matches, the Outer Oval and matches at other New Zealand grounds are separate records and cannot be substituted into an ODI venue total. 6713

Why is Rahul’s New Zealand ODI record much larger than his Eden Park record?

The opponent row covers every venue: 11 matches, 470 runs and a 78.33 average. Eden Park covers only one innings, worth 4 runs. The two rows have different denominators and should be compared as venue and opponent samples, not added together. 3467

Is Rahul’s career run-out total zero?

No complete career run-out ledger is available in the controlling profile tables, so the correct label is Unavailable, not zero. The opened 8 February 2020 scorecard separately credits Rahul in Martin Guptill’s run-out; that match-level event is retained without turning it into a career aggregate. 18

Did KL Rahul bowl in these records?

No bowling workload is published for his Test, ODI or T20I rows, and the Cricinfo bowling displays use dashes. The article therefore uses Not applicable, Did not bowl or Undefined: no published wickets rather than false zeroes or invented bowling rates. 114
