    KL Rahul Seeks Blessings at Mahakaleshwar Temple Ahead of Series Decider

    Analysis by Third Umpire·January 16, 2026

    Lucknow Super Giants captain KL Rahul visited the Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain to seek blessings ahead of the crucial third ODI series decider against New Zealand. Rahul, who recently scored a magnificent unbeaten 112 in the second ODI, was seen offering prayers and worshipping Nandi at the temple.

    The visit comes as India prepares for the high-stakes final match of the three-game series, which is currently tied at 1-1. Rahul’s century in the previous game demonstrated his strong return to form in the 50-over format, despite India ultimately losing the match.

    Also in attendance at the Bhasma Aarti were India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir and assistant coach Sitanshu Kotak, underscoring the team’s focus and preparation for the decisive fixture at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore.
